82 Nominations—scientific committee may reject nomination (1) The scientific committee may reject a nomination if the scientific committee considers that— (a) the nomination is vexatious, frivolous or not made in good faith; or (b) a requirement prescribed by regulation for the nomination has not been complied with; or (c) if the nomination is about including a nationally threatened item in, or transferring a nationally threatened item within, a list, and the item is a Commonwealth listed item or a State assessed item—the inclusion or transfer is more appropriately dealt with under section 90A. (2) If the scientific committee rejects a nomination, the scientific committee must take reasonable steps to tell the person who made the nomination about the rejection and the reason for it.
