Division 6—Objections and reviews 25—Objections (1) An applicant who is dissatisfied with the Commissioner's decision on the application, or an applicant or former applicant who is dissatisfied with a decision of the Commissioner to impose a penalty under section 39(2) or (3), may lodge a written notice of objection with the Treasurer. (2) The grounds of objection must be stated fully and in detail in the notice of objection. (3) The objection must be lodged within 60 days after the date of the notice of the decision or, if the decision was made in anticipation of a provision that operates retrospectively, within 60 days after the date of the notice of the decision or the date of the enactment or making of the provision (whichever is the later). (4) If the Treasurer is satisfied that an objector has a reasonable excuse for failing to lodge an objection within the 60-day period, the Treasurer may extend the time for lodging the objection. 26—Reference of objection to Crown Solicitor for advice The Treasurer may refer an objection, or any aspect of an objection, to the Crown Solicitor or any other person for advice. 27—Powers of the Treasurer on objection (1) After considering an objection, the Treasurer may confirm, vary or reverse the decision subject to the objection. (2) The Treasurer must give the objector written notice of the decision on the objection setting out the reasons for the decision. 27A—Objection not to stay proceedings based on relevant decision (1) Although a decision is subject to an objection, the Commissioner may act on the basis that the decision is correct until the objection is decided. (2) When an objection is decided, the Commissioner must take any necessary action to give effect to that decision. 28—Reviews (1) An objector who is dissatisfied with the Treasurer's decision on the objection may seek a review of the decision by the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal under section 34 of the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013. (2) A review must be commenced within 60 days after the notice of the decision on the objection is given (or such longer period as the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal may allow).
