 (3) The Regulator must, on receiving an application:
 (a) review the reviewable decision personally; or
 (b) cause the reviewable decision to be reviewed by a person:
 (i) to whom the Regulator's power under this section is delegated; and
 (ii) who was not involved in the making of the decision; and
 (iii) who occupies a position in the Commonwealth Department that is senior to that occupied by any person involved in making the decision.
