Commonwealth Consolidated Acts

INTERACTIVE GAMBLING ACT 2001 - SECT 31

             (1)  Subject to subsection (2), the ACMA may, by written instrument, formulate a scheme:

                     (a)  in the nature of a scheme for substituted service; and

                     (b)  under which the ACMA is taken, for the purposes of this Act, to have done any or all of the following:

                              (i)  given each Internet service provider a standard access‑prevention notice under paragraph 24(1)(c);

                             (ii)  given each Internet service provider a special access‑prevention notice under section 27.

             (2)  It is a minimum requirement for a scheme formulated under subsection (1) that each Internet service provider be alerted by electronic means to the existence of a notice.

Note:          For example, it is not sufficient for the ACMA to make notices available on the Internet (with or without security measures) without notifying Internet service providers that a notice has been issued.

             (3)  Paragraph 24(1)(c) has effect, in relation to a scheme under subsection (1), as if the reference in that paragraph to each Internet service provider known to the ACMA were a reference to each Internet service provider.

             (4)  An instrument under subsection (1) is a disallowable instrument for the purposes of section 46A of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 .
