219X  Detainee becoming in need of protection
 (1) If:
 (a) at any time while a person is being detained under this Subdivision, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the detainee has become in need of protection; and
 (b) until that time, the detainee has not been treated under this Subdivision as being in need of protection;
the Comptroller‑General of Customs or a police officer must, as soon as practicable, apply for an order under this section.
 (2) The application is to be made:
 (a) if the person is being detained under an order made by a Division 1B Judge or Division 1B Magistrate—to such a Judge or Magistrate, as the case may be; or
 (b) if not—to a Division 1B Judge.
 (3) The Judge or Magistrate must, if satisfied that the detainee is in need of protection, appoint a person (not being an officer of Customs or a police officer) to represent the detainee's interests in relation to this Division until the detainee is no longer in need of protection.
 (4) So far as is practicable, a person so appointed must be a person acceptable to the detainee.
