##### 343 AUSTEL may direct carrier to remedy breach of licence condition
(1) This section applies where, as a result of an investigation under section 335, AUSTEL is satisfied that a carrier has contravened a condition of a general telecommunications licence or public mobile licence held by the carrier.
(2) If AUSTEL is satisfied that the contravention consists of failure to do an act required by the condition, AUSTEL may direct the carrier in writing to do that act.
(3) If AUSTEL is satisfied that the contravention consists of engaging in conduct prohibited by the condition, AUSTEL may direct the carrier in writing to stop engaging in that conduct, or not to engage in it again, or both, as the case requires.
(4) AUSTEL may give a direction under subsection (3) whether or not it appears that the carrier intends to continue to engage in that conduct or to engage in it again.
(5) A direction under subsection (2) or (3) may also direct the carrier to do specified acts that AUSTEL thinks necessary to help remedy the contravention.
