Section 29(3) of the Security Industry Act 1997 (NSW) imposes a blanket prohibition on disclosure of the existence or content of criminal intelligence reports in external review proceedings, which leaves no room for a distinction between particulars and evidence. The provision impliedly repeals s 73 of the ADT Act to the extent it would otherwise require procedural fairness in such cases. However, the Tribunal retains the obligation to satisfy itself that the preconditions for a s 29(3) claim are met before the prohibition is engaged.
