Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) An application for classification of a publication (other than an enforcement application--see section 22A) must be:
(b) made in a form approved by the Director in writing; and
(c) signed by or on behalf of the applicant; and
(i) the prescribed fee for that category of publication; and
(ii) a copy of the publication.
Note: For an applicant that is the Commonwealth or a Commonwealth entity: see section 91A.
(2) If an application is made for classification of a publication that is an issue of a periodical (the original issue ), the applicant may request that the classification granted for the original issue apply also to all or some future issues.
(3) The Board may, if the applicant pays the prescribed fee (if any), declare that the classification granted for the original issue applies also to:
(b) a specified number of future issues; or
(c) all future issues published within a specified period.
(4) In deciding whether to make a declaration under subsection (3), the Board must have regard to written principles determined by the Director and agreed to by the Minister. The Minister may only agree to the principles if the Minister has consulted the participating Ministers about them.
(5) If the Board makes a declaration under subsection (3) for some or all future issues of a publication and the Board is of the opinion that an issue of the publication covered by the declaration:
(a) contains material that, if the issue were being classified separately, would cause it to be classified with a higher classification than the original issue; or
(b) contains an advertisement that has been refused approval;
the Board must revoke the declaration so far as it affects that issue and any
future issues. The Board must also revoke approval of any approved
advertisement for those issues of the publication.
