(3) In seeking the Attorney-General's consent, the member must give the Attorney-General a draft request that includes:

(a) a draft of the interim control order to be requested; and

(b) the following:

(i) a statement of the facts relating to why the order should be made;

Note 1: An interim control order cannot be requested in relation to a person who is under 16 years of age (see section 104.28).

Note 2: The member might commit an offence if the draft request is false or misleading (see sections 137.1 and 137.2).

(i) that making the order would substantially assist in preventing a terrorist act; or

(d) the court is satisfied on the balance of probabilities that each of the obligations, prohibitions and restrictions to be imposed on the person by the order is reasonably necessary, and reasonably appropriate and adapted, for the purpose of protecting the public from a terrorist act.

(2) In determining whether each of the obligations, prohibitions and restrictions to be imposed on the person by the order is reasonably necessary, and reasonably appropriate and adapted, the court must take into account the impact of the obligation, prohibition or restriction on the person's circumstances (including the person's financial and personal circumstances).

(3) The court need not include in the order an obligation, prohibition or restriction that was sought by the senior AFP member if the court is not satisfied as mentioned in paragraph (1)(d) in respect of that obligation, prohibition or restriction.
