 (a) the approval under Division 5 of Part 2 of a transport security program of the participant may be cancelled; or
 (b) a transport security program given to the participant under Division 6 of Part 2 may be cancelled.
Note: For cancellations referred to in paragraph (a), see section 26. For cancellations referred to in paragraph (b), see section 26G.
 (2) The demerit points system must only allow demerit points to be accrued if an aviation industry participant:
 (a) is convicted or found guilty of an offence against this Act; or
 (b) under a scheme established under regulations made under section 117, pays a penalty to the Commonwealth as an alternative to prosecution.
 (3) Without limiting the scheme that may be established under subsection (1), the scheme may provide that different provisions apply to different kinds of aviation industry participants or to different classes of participants within a kind of aviation industry participant.
