51X  Publication of order and report

Single order

 (1) If:
 (a) an order under this Part ceases to be in force; and
 (b) the order is not one of 2 or more orders to which subsection (2) applies;
the Minister must arrange for presentation to the Parliament in accordance with subsection (3) of:
 (c) a copy of:
 (i) the order; and
 (ii) any declarations of general security areas or designated areas under the order; and
 (d) a report on any utilisation of the Defence Force that occurred under the order.

Successive orders

 (2) If 2 or more orders under this Part about the same or related circumstances come into force in succession, without any intervening period when no such order is in force, the Minister must arrange for presentation to the Parliament in accordance with subsection (3) of:
 (a) a copy of:
 (i) all of the orders; and
 (ii) any declarations of general security areas or designated areas under the orders; and
 (b) a report on any utilisation of the Defence Force that occurred under the orders.

Reporting to Parliament

 (3) For the purposes of subsection (1) or (2), presentation to the Parliament of the copy and report is in accordance with this subsection if the copy and report are forwarded to the Presiding Officer of each House:
 (a) if that House sits before the end of 7 days after the order mentioned in subsection (1) or the last of the orders mentioned in subsection (2) ceases to be in force—for tabling in that House before the end of that 7 days; or
 (b) if not—before the end of that 7 days for distribution to all Senators or Members of the House of Representatives, as the case may be.

Effect of revocation

 (5) To avoid doubt, a reference to an order ceasing to be in force includes a reference to an order ceasing to be in force because it is revoked.
