Person adversely affected by report to be given opportunity to comment
518 Person adversely affected by report to be given opportunity to comment
This section applies if the publication of a matter in a report or a part of a report would, or would be likely to, adversely affect the interests of a person.
The ACMA must not publish the report or the part of the report, as the case may be, until the ACMA has given the person a reasonable period (not exceeding 30 days) to make representations, either orally or in writing, in relation to the matter.
However, the ACMA is not required to give the person a reasonable period to make representations if:
the matter relates to a possible breach of:
the Spam Act 2003 or regulations under that Act; or
the Do Not Call Register Act 2006 or regulations under that Act; and
the ACMA has reasonable grounds to believe that giving the person a reasonable period to make representations is likely to result in the concealment, loss or destruction of a thing connected with the breach.
