Exclusion of other territory laws
8 Exclusion of other territory laws
The following territory laws do not apply to the Regulator:
the Annual Reports (Government Agencies) Act 2004;
the Auditor-General Act 1996;
the Criminal Code;
the Financial Management Act 1996;
the Freedom of Information Act 2016;
the Government Procurement Act 2001;
the Public Interest Disclosure Act 2012;
the Public Sector Management Act 1994;
the Territory Records Act 2002.
However, if a function of the Regulator under the Rail Safety National Law (ACT) is exercised by an entity that would, apart from subsection (1), be subject to a law mentioned in that subsection, the law applies to the entity.
Example
The Regulator has an agreement mentioned in the Rail Safety National Law (ACT), s 15 (2) (a) with an ACT entity. The entity is a territory authority. The Financial Management Act 1996 applies to territory authorities. Therefore, the entity must comply with that Act when doing things under the agreement.
