Racing Integrity Act 2016

This section applies if, after considering the submissions for the show cause notice, the Minister—

still believes—

a ground exists to cancel the offcourse approval; and

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

the public interest may be affected in an adverse and material way; and

believes cancellation of the offcourse approval is warranted.

This section also applies if there are no submissions for the show cause notice.

The Minister may cancel the offcourse approval.

The Minister must immediately give the racing bookmaker an information notice about the decision to cancel the offcourse approval.

The notice must include—

a direction to the racing bookmaker to return the offcourse approval to the Minister within 14 days after the cancellation; and

a warning to the racing bookmaker that, without a reasonable excuse, it is an offence to fail to comply with the direction.
