law enforcement intelligence and not impact on larger intelligence operations. An explanation of the application of clauses relating to security sensitive information has been explored in detail in the explanatory statement.
MR MILLIGAN (Yerrabi) (4.37): This is an important change and I am pleased that the government has agreed to my suggestion to provide applicants with a statement of reasons.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 22, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 23.
MR MILLIGAN (Yerrabi) (4.38): I move amendment No 7 circulated in my name [see schedule 3 at page 1222]. I am pleased the government has agreed to this amendment as it gives consistency and provides applicants time to respond. Providing 20 days should allow applicants to collect evidence and reports and get statements as required. Again, this should help provide better balance.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 23, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 24 to 26, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Clause 27.
MS BERRY (Ginninderra—Deputy Chief Minister, Minister for Education and Early Childhood Development, Minister for Housing and Suburban Development, Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence, Minister for Sport and Recreation and Minister for Women) (4.39): I move amendment No 4 circulated in my name [see schedule 2 at page 1220]. This amendment establishes an internal review mechanism for applicants to submit additional information to the controlled sports register to consider a decision not to grant registration as a contestant. The register must consider the application and provide a decision within 20 days.
While an applicant can still apply to the ACT Civil and Administrative Appeals Tribunal for a reviewable decision the addition of this clause provides an alternative avenue and is likely to reduce the likelihood of this happening, thus reducing the administrative burden on the tribunal as well as the applicant.
MR MILLIGAN (Yerrabi) (4.40): I am pleased the government has again agreed to my suggestion on the statement of reasons.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 27, as amended, agreed to.
