Crime and Corruption Act 2001

This section applies if—

the commission proposes to include identifying information about a person in—

a commission report required to be tabled in the Legislative Assembly, or published, under section 69; or

a public statement; and

section 69B does not apply.

Before the commission report is given to a relevant person or the public statement is made, the commission may—

give the person—

in relation to a commission report—

a copy of the report in draft form (the draft report); or

an extract from the draft report containing the identifying information; or

in relation to a public statement—

a copy of the statement in draft form (the draft statement); or

if the draft statement applies to more than 1 person—the part of the draft statement that applies to the person; and

give the person a written notice—

inviting the person to make a submission to the commission on the draft report or extract from the draft report, or the draft statement or part of the draft statement; and

stating the day, not earlier than 30 days after the notice is given, by which the submission must be made to the commission.

The commission must consider any submission received from the person by the day stated in the notice.

If the person makes a submission to the commission in response to the notice mentioned in subsection (2)(b) and the commission still proposes to include the identifying information in the commission report or public statement, the commission must ensure the person’s submission is also fairly stated in the report or statement.

In this section—identifying information means any comment, information, opinion or other material that identifies a person or from which a person can reasonably be identified.
