Intelligence Services Amendment (Establishment of the Australian Signals Directorate) Act 2018 (25 of 2018)

Schedule 1   Amendments

Part 3   Transitional provisions

107   Continuation of existing inquiries under the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security Act 1986

If the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security had begun an inquiry in relation to the old ASD under section 8 of the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security Act 1986 before 1 July 2018 but had not completed it on that day, then, for the purposes of completing that inquiry:

(a) the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security Act 1986, as in force on the day that the inquiry began, continues in force despite the amendments made by this Schedule; and

(b) any other Act amended by this Schedule, as in force on the day that the inquiry began, continues in force despite the amendments made by this Schedule.

Note: This means, for example, that a person who was given a notice under section 18 of the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security Act 1986 before 1 July 2018 in relation to an inquiry is still required to comply with the notice after that date if the person hasn't done so.
