Part 1   Main amendments

Offence - unauthorised disclosure of information acquired under the Archives Act 1983

152   After subsection 34(5)

Insert:

Section generally to apply despite other laws

(5A) This section applies despite any other provision of a law of the Commonwealth unless that provision manifests a clear intention to apply despite this section (for example, by explicitly authorising or requiring an IGIS official to use or disclose information).

Note: A requirement in a law of the Commonwealth that applies generally to an APS employee, and does not refer explicitly to an IGIS official, would not manifest a clear intention to apply despite this section.

(5B) This section applies despite any provision of a law of a State or Territory.
