PART 2 - REPORTING PAYMENT TIMES  

Division 3 - Access to payment times reports  

SECTION 20   REGULATOR MAY REMOVE CERTAIN INFORMATION  

20(1)    
The Regulator may remove information contained in a payment times report from the register if the Regulator considers that continuing to make the information publicly available would be contrary to the public interest.

20(2)    
In making a decision under subsection (1) , the Regulator may have regard to:

(a)    whether the information is personal information (within the meaning of the Privacy Act 1988 ); and

(b)    whether the information is commercial-in-confidence; and

(c)    any other matters prescribed by the rules; and

(d)    any other matters the Regulator considers relevant.

20(3)    
Information is commercial-in-confidence if the Regulator is satisfied that:

(a)    further release of the information would cause competitive detriment to a constitutionally covered entity; and

(b)    removing the information from the register is likely to be effective in removing the information from the public domain; and

(c)    the information is not required to be disclosed under another Australian law; and

(d)    removing the information from the register is likely to be effective in preventing the information from being readily discoverable.
