TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT 1997 - SECT 280

             (1)  Division 2 does not prohibit a disclosure or use of information or a document if:

                     (a)  in a case where the disclosure or use is in connection with the operation of an enforcement agency--the disclosure or use is required or authorised under a warrant; or

                     (b)  in any other case--the disclosure or use is required or authorised by or under law.

          (1A)  In applying paragraph (1)(a) to the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity, the reference in that paragraph to the operation of an enforcement agency is taken to be a reference to the performance of the functions of the Integrity Commissioner (within the meaning of the Law Enforcement Integrity Commissioner Act 2006 ).

             (2)  In this section:

"enforcement agency" has the same meaning as in the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 .
