Information barrier arrangements for agencies
A relevant agency does not contravene subsection 101H(1) by taking an action mentioned in paragraph 101H(2)(a), (b) or (c) at any time merely because of water announcement information in the possession of an officer or a member of staff of the agency, if:
the decision to take the action was taken on its behalf by a person or persons other than that officer or member of staff; and
it had in operation at that time arrangements that could reasonably be expected to ensure:
that the water announcement information was not communicated to the person or persons who made the decision referred to in paragraph (a); and
