6  Simplified outline
  The following is a simplified outline of this Part:

      This Part creates a framework for:
             (a) monitoring whether provisions of an Act or a legislative instrument have been, or are being, complied with; and
             (b) monitoring whether information given in compliance, or purported compliance, with a provision of an Act or a legislative instrument is correct; and
             (c) monitoring other matters to which an Act or a legislative instrument relates.
      For this Part to operate, a provision, information or a matter must be made subject to monitoring under this Part. This is to be done by another Act.
      An authorised person may enter premises for the purpose of monitoring.
      Entry must be with the consent of the occupier of the premises or under a monitoring warrant.
      An authorised person who enters premises may exercise monitoring powers. The authorised person may be assisted by other persons if that assistance is necessary and reasonable and another Act empowers the authorised person to do so.
      An occupier's consent to an authorised person entering premises for the purposes of monitoring must be voluntary. Authorised persons must abide by the terms of that consent.
      An authorised person who enters premises under a monitoring warrant must give details of the warrant to the occupier of the premises.
      The occupier of the premises may observe the execution of a monitoring warrant and must provide reasonable facilities and assistance for the effective execution of the warrant.
