Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act 1979

This Part (other than section 81) does not apply in relation to the exercise of a power or the performance of a function under Part IVA.

To avoid doubt:

a communication made, including a security clearance suitability assessment furnished, by the Organisation in connection with the performance of its function under paragraph 17(1)(cb) is not a security assessment; and

any decision made or not made, or action taken or not taken, by a Commonwealth agency, a State or an authority of a State, on the basis of a communication made by the Organisation in connection with the performance of its function under paragraph 17(1)(cb) is not prescribed administrative action within the meaning of paragraph (a) of the definition of prescribed administrative action in subsection 35(1).
