56BS Emergency rules: public consultation not required etc
The Minister may make consumer data rules under subsection 56BA(1):
without complying with paragraph 56BP(b) or (c); but
after consulting the Commission and Information Commissioner;
if the Minister believes (whether or not that belief is reasonable) that it is necessary to do so in order to avoid a risk of serious harm to:
the efficiency, integrity or stability of any aspect of the Australian economy; or
the interests of consumers.
The Minister still needs to comply with paragraph 56BP(a).
However, a failure to comply with paragraph (1)(b) of this section does not invalidate consumer data rules made as described in subsection (1).
Such rules may have a limited life (see section 56BT).
