22A Failure to consider international obligations etc. does not invalidate authorisation
(1) The exercise of a power to give an authorisation under a provision of this Division is not invalid: (a) because of a failure to consider Australia’s international obligations, or the international obligations or domestic law of any other country; or (b) because of a defective consideration of Australia’s international obligations, or the international obligations or domestic law of any other country; or (c) because the exercise of the power is inconsistent with Australia’s international obligations. (2) Subsection (1) is not to be taken to imply that the exercise of a power under any other provision of this Act is invalid for a reason of a kind specified in paragraph (1)(a), (b) or (c).
