72A  Refusal of permit—security
 (1) If the Attorney‑General, after consulting the Prime Minister and the Minister administering this Act, considers that the grant of a non‑protection zone installation permit to a particular carrier would be prejudicial to security, the Attorney‑General may give a written direction to the ACMA not to grant a non‑protection zone installation permit to the carrier.
 (2) The ACMA must comply with a direction under subclause (1).
 (3) While a direction is in force under this clause:
 (a) the ACMA cannot reconsider a non‑compulsory refusal to grant a non‑protection zone installation permit to the carrier; and
 (b) the Administrative Appeals Tribunal cannot consider an application for review of a non‑compulsory refusal to grant a non‑protection zone installation permit to the carrier.
 (4) If an application for a non‑protection zone installation permit is pending at the time when the Attorney‑General gives a direction to the ACMA under this clause, then the application lapses.
 (5) In this clause:
non‑compulsory refusal means a refusal to grant a non‑protection zone installation permit, other than a refusal that is required by this clause.
