68 Disclosing information where serious offence imminent
The Inspector may disclose protected information to a government agency, if the Inspector believes on reasonable grounds that:
the commission of an offence is imminent; and
the offence is an offence against a law of the Commonwealth, or of a State or Territory, punishable by a maximum penalty of imprisonment for more than 2 years; and
the information may be relevant to the prevention of the offence.
The government agency must not copy, make a record of, use or disclose the protected information obtained from the Inspector for any purpose that is not related to the prevention of an offence against a law of the Commonwealth, or of a State or Territory, punishable by a maximum penalty of imprisonment for more than 2 years.
