#### 93 Inspector‑General may invite submissions Inviting submissions (1) The Inspector‑General may invite members of the public generally, or particular persons or organisations, to make submissions relevant to a review. (2) The Inspector‑General has discretion in deciding matters connected with the process for inviting or making submissions, including: (a) how to communicate an invitation; and (b) how submissions may be made. > Note: For example, the Inspector‑General may: (a) advertise in the press or other media seeking written submissions from the public; or (b) contact particular persons or organisations inviting them to attend a meeting at which they may make oral submissions. Submissions containing confidential information (3) If a person makes a submission, the person may request the Inspector‑General: (a) not to make the submission, or a part of the submission, available under section 94 and not to include the submission, or a part of the submission, in a review report, because of the confidential information contained in the submission; or (b) not to publish or make available the person’s name, or otherwise specifically identify the person, in any information made available under section 94 or in a review report.

(5) If a person makes a request under subsection (3) in relation to a submission, or a part of a submission, and the Inspector‑General refuses the request: (a) in the case of a written submission—the person may require the submission, or the part of the submission, to be returned to the person; or (b) in the case of an oral submission—the person may withdraw the submission or the part of the submission.
