(ii) in a case in which subparagraph 79A(1)(b)(ii) applies - the national security risk posed by the material change could not have been reasonably foreseen, or could have been reasonably foreseen but was only a remote possibility, at the time paragraph 79A(1)(a) was satisfied; or
(c) the Treasurer must also be satisfied that:
(iii) in a case in which subparagraph 79A(1)(b)(iii) applies - the material change alters the nature of the national security risk posed at the time paragraph 79A(1)(a) was satisfied; and
(i) reasonable steps have been taken to negotiate in good faith with the person to achieve an outcome of eliminating or reducing the national security risk relating to the action that the Treasurer has decided exists so as to avoid an order being given; and
