Ministerial concurrence or confirmation
9 Ministerial concurrence or confirmation
An authorisation may only be given with the concurrence of the Police Minister, except as provided by subsection (2).
An authorisation may be given without the concurrence of the Police Minister if he or she is not able to be contacted at the time it is given.
If the authorisation is given without the concurrence of the Police Minister—
the Police Minister is to be notified of the authorisation as soon as the Police Minister is available to be notified, and
in the case of an authorisation under section 5—the authorisation ceases to have effect if the Police Minister has not confirmed the authorisation within 48 hours after the authorisation was given.
Note.
The Police Minister may at any time direct that an authorisation be revoked—see section 12 (1).
