Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission Act 1997

The commission may, at any stage of an investigation, give the referring authority and (if the referring authority is not a Minister) the responsible Minister a special report on any matter arising from the investigation.

A special report about a matter must include any report by a commissioner dissenting from majority findings of the commission about the matter.

If the referring authority is not a Minister, the commission must also give a copy of the special report to the responsible Minister.
