Warrant under section 34BA or 34BB of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act 1979 of the Commonwealth
13AZZI Warrant under section 34BA or 34BB of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act 1979 of the Commonwealth
S. 13AZZI (Heading) amended by No. 9/2025 s. 53(1).
S. 13AZZI inserted by No. 32/2018 s. 9.
This section applies if—
a person is being detained under this Part; and
S. 13AZZI (1)(b) amended by No. 9/2025 s. 53(2).
a warrant under section 34BA or 34BB of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Act 1979 of the Commonwealth is in force in relation to the person; and
a copy of the warrant is given to the police officer who is detaining the person under this Part.
The police officer must take such steps as are necessary to ensure that the person may be dealt with in accordance with the warrant.
Without limiting subsection (2), the police officer may, under section 13AZZH, release, or arrange in writing for the release of, the person from detention under this Part so that the person may be dealt with in accordance with the warrant.
To avoid doubt, the fact that the person is released from detention under this Part so that the person may be—
questioned before a prescribed authority under the warrant; or
detained under the warrant in connection with that questioning—
does not extend the period for which the police detention decision remains in effect in relation to the person.
