attached to an approval under this Part of an action if the Minister is satisfied that the condition is not needed to protect any matter protected by a provision of Part 3 for which the approval has effect.
 (3) In deciding whether or not to revoke, vary or add to any conditions attached to the approval of the taking of an action by a person, the Minister may have regard to:
 (a) the person's history in relation to environmental matters; and
 (b) if the person is a body corporate—the history of its executive officers in relation to environmental matters; and
 (c) if the person is a body corporate that is a subsidiary of another body or company (the parent body)—the history in relation to environmental matters of the parent body and its executive officers.
 (4) The revocation, variation or addition takes effect on the day specified in the instrument. The Minister must not specify a day earlier than the day the instrument is made.
 (5) As soon as possible after making the instrument, the Minister must:
 (a) give a copy of it to the holder of the approval; and
 (b) publish the instrument in accordance with the regulations.
Note: If the holder is not satisfied with changed conditions attached to the approval of the holder's action, he or she can ask the Minister to reverse the change by making another change to the conditions under this section.
 (6) However, the Minister must not publish so much of the instrument as:
 (a) is:
 (i) an exempt document under section 47 of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (trade secrets etc.); or
 (ii) a conditionally exempt document under section 47G of that Act (business documents) to which access would, on balance, be contrary to the public interest for the purposes of subsection 11A(5) of that Act; or
 (b) the Minister believes it is in the national interest not to publish.
The Minister may consider the defence or security of the Commonwealth when determining what is in the national interest. This does not limit the matters the Minister may consider.
