11AB  Background check of applicants for, or holders of, MNE accreditation—deemed application
 (1) AusCheck may undertake a background check of an individual in connection with the accreditation of the individual in relation to a major national event if, after a background check (the original background check) of the individual has been undertaken in relation to the major national event, the Secretary considers on reasonable grounds that the individual:
 (a) has an MNE criminal record; or
 (b) constitutes a threat to the security of the major national event.
 (2) In considering a matter under subsection (1), the Secretary must take into account:
 (a) any information given to the Secretary by the individual or the organising body for the event; and
 (b) any information given to the Secretary by a law enforcement, or national security, agency (however described) about the individual; and
 (c) anything else relevant that the Secretary knows about.
 (3) If AusCheck undertakes a background check of an individual under subsection (1):
 (a) the organising body is taken to have applied for the background check of the individual; and
 (b) the application for that background check is taken to be the same as the application for the original background check.
