sec.183 Submission of reports
An authority operator must give reports to the chief executive as required by this section about the operations of the operator conducted under the wagering authority. Maximum penalty—40 penalty units. The reports must be given at the times stated in a written notice given to the authority operator by the chief executive. A report must be in the approved form. The chief executive may, by written notice given to an authority operator, require the operator to give the chief executive further information about a report within the time stated in the notice to help the chief executive acquire a proper appreciation of the operator’s operations. An authority operator must comply with a requirement under subsection (4) within the time stated in the notice, unless the operator has a reasonable excuse. Maximum penalty—40 penalty units. An authority operator must not give the chief executive a report containing information, or further information about a report, the operator knows to be false, misleading or incomplete in a material particular. Maximum penalty—100 penalty units. Subsection (6) does not apply to an authority operator if the operator, when giving the report or further information— informs the chief executive in writing, to the best of the operator’s ability, how the return or information is false, misleading or incomplete; and if the operator has, or can reasonably obtain, the correct information—gives the correct information. It is enough for a complaint for an offence against subsection (6) to state that the report or information was false, misleading or incomplete to the defendant’s knowledge.
