Racing Integrity Act 2016

The Minister may suspend immediately an offcourse approval of a racing bookmaker if the Minister reasonably believes—

a ground exists to cancel the offcourse approval; and

the circumstances are so extraordinary that it is imperative to suspend the offcourse approval immediately to ensure the public interest in a code of racing is not adversely affected.

The suspension—

can be effected only by the Minister giving the racing bookmaker an information notice about the decision to suspend the offcourse approval, together with a show cause notice; and

operates immediately the information notice is given to the racing bookmaker; and

continues to operate until the show cause notice is finally dealt with.
