Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme Act 2018

If the Secretary issues a provisional transparency notice, the Secretary must also:

prepare an invitation for the person who is the subject of the notice in accordance with subsection (2); and

take reasonable steps to give the invitation and the provisional transparency notice to the person as soon as practicable.

The invitation must:

invite the person to make submissions to the Secretary about the provisional transparency notice within 14 days of the date of the invitation; and

set out the effect of sections 137.1 and 137.2 of the Criminal Code (false or misleading information or documents); and

notify the person of the person’s right to have the decision to issue the provisional transparency notice reviewed.

If the person makes submissions about the provisional transparency notice within 14 days of the date of the invitation, the Secretary must consider the submissions before the end of the period of 28 days after the date of the invitation.

If a provisional transparency notice is not revoked before the end of the period of 28 days after the date of the invitation, the provisional transparency notice becomes a final transparency notice at the end of that period.
