Gas Services Information Act 2012

The operator must take all reasonable measures to protect protected information from unauthorised use or disclosure.

The operator makes unauthorised use, or an unauthorised disclosure, of protected information if the use or disclosure is not authorised under this Act.

The operator may use protected information for the purposes of its functions under this Act, subject to any requirements or limitations under this Act.

The National Gas Law Chapter 2 Part 6 Division 7 Subdivision 2 set out in the Schedule to the National Gas (South Australia) Act 2008 (South Australia) (as in force at the commencement of this Act) applies to protected information —

as if the Subdivision were part of this Act; and

as if the references to AEMO were references to the operator; and

with the modifications set out in the regulations (if any); and

with any other necessary modifications.

Subsections (1) to (4) have effect while there are no regulations under this Act controlling the use and disclosure of protected information.

The Governor cannot make regulations under this Act controlling the use and disclosure of protected information unless the Minister is satisfied that gas market participants have been adequately consulted on the making of the regulations.

Subsections (5) and (6) do not apply to regulations made for the purposes of subsection (3).
