56BS Emergency rules: public consultation not required etc.
(1) The Minister may make consumer data rules under subsection 56BA(1):
(a) without complying with paragraph 56BP(b) or (c); but
(b) after consulting the Commission and Information Commissioner;
if the Minister believes (whether or not that belief is reasonable) that it is necessary to do so in order to avoid a risk of serious harm to:
(c) the efficiency, integrity or stability of any aspect of the Australian economy; or
(d) the interests of consumers.
Note: The Minister still needs to comply with paragraph 56BP(a).
(2) However, a failure to comply with paragraph (1)(b) of this section does not invalidate consumer data rules made as described in subsection (1).
Note: Such rules may have a limited life (see section 56BT).
