Disclosure of criminal intelligence—chief police officer
9B Disclosure of criminal intelligence—chief police officer
Information that is classified by the chief police officer as criminal intelligence must not be disclosed for this Act to anyone other than the commissioner for fair trading, the Minister, a court or an entity to whom the chief police officer authorises its disclosure.
The chief police officer may only disclose the information to the commissioner for fair trading if the officer believes on reasonable grounds that the information is relevant to—
the making of a decision by the commissioner about issuing a licence to an applicant; or
the making of a decision by the commissioner about whether to apply to the ACAT for an occupational discipline order in relation to a licensee.
Subsection (1) does not prevent the chief police officer from disclosing the information for another lawful purpose.
