Financial Accountability Act 2009

This part applies to a print requirement to the extent the requirement applies to a Minister, accountable officer or statutory body.

For subsection (1), a print requirement is taken to apply to the accountable officer of a department if the requirement applies to—

the department; or

an entity that is part of the department under section 8(3); or

another officer or employee of the department.

However, this part does not apply to a print requirement that—

requires information to be published in the gazette; or

is a provision of general application; or

is imposed under a national scheme law.

Also, this part does not apply to the publication of information under a print requirement to the extent that the information is published in print for the purpose of being tabled in the Legislative Assembly in compliance with a State law.

In this section—

is substantially uniform with, or substantially corresponds to, a law of the Commonwealth or another State; and

under the law or an agreement between the State and the Commonwealth or other State—

can be amended only with the agreement of the Commonwealth or other State; or

is amended only when the law of the Commonwealth or other State is amended, including, for example, because the law applies the law of the Commonwealth or other State as the law of Queensland.
