22I Protection of security sensitive information
(1) This section applies if the relevant director-general decides to refuse
an application for approval to make a change of name application
under section 22C (1) (b).
(2) The relevant director-general is not required under this Act or any
other territory law to give reasons for the director-general’s decision
to the extent that giving those reasons would disclose security
sensitive information.
security sensitive information means information that relates to
actual or suspected criminal activity (whether in the ACT or
elsewhere) the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to—
(a) prejudice a criminal investigation; or
(b) enable the discovery of the existence or identity of a confidential
source of information relevant to law enforcement; or
(c) endanger a person’s life or physical safety; or
(d) adversely affect the security, discipline or good order of any
premises or facility at which a restricted person is held or
accommodated; or
(e) adversely affect the supervision of a restricted person.
