Racing Integrity Act 2016

The Minister must give the racing bookmaker a notice under this section (a show cause notice) if the Minister reasonably believes—

a ground exists to cancel the offcourse approval; and

the act, omission or other thing forming the ground is of a serious and fundamental nature; and

the public interest may be affected by the act, omission or other thing in an adverse and material way.

The show cause notice must state the following—

the Minister proposes to cancel the offcourse approval;

the grounds for the proposed cancellation;

an outline of the facts and circumstances forming the basis for the grounds;

that the racing bookmaker may, within a stated period (the show cause period), make submissions to the Minister to show why the offcourse approval should not be cancelled.

The show cause period must end at least 28 days after the racing bookmaker is given the show cause notice.

The racing bookmaker may, in the show cause period, make submissions about the show cause notice to the Minister.
