337CA  Investigation of disclosure
 (1) If a disclosure that qualifies for protection under this Part is allocated to an authorised official, the authorised official must investigate the disclosure.

 (3) To avoid doubt, Division 2 continues to apply to the disclosure even if the authorised official decides not to investigate the disclosure, or not to investigate the disclosure further, under this Division.
 (4) The investigation under this Division by the authorised official is to be conducted in accordance with any regulations made for the purposes of section 337CC and otherwise as the authorised official thinks fit.
 (5) The authorised official may, for the purposes of the investigation, obtain information from such persons, and make such inquiries, as the authorised official thinks fit.
