Section 56BS — Competition and Consumer Act 2010: Emergency rules: public consultation not required etc.

(1) The Minister may make consumer data rules under subsection 56BA(1): (a) without complying with paragraph 56BP(b) or (c); but (b) after consulting the Commission and Information Commissioner; if the Minister believes (whether or not that belief is reasonable) that it is necessary to do so in order to avoid a risk of serious harm to: (c) the efficiency, integrity or stability of any aspect of the Australian economy; or (d) the interests of consumers. Note: The Minister still needs to comply with paragraph 56BP(a). (2) However, a failure to comply with paragraph (1)(b) of this section does not invalidate consumer data rules made as described in subsection (1). Note: Such rules may have a limited life (see section 56BT).
