hold a hearing; and

(b)

give a reasonable opportunity to any interested people to make oral or written submissions to ASIC on whether an order should be made.

The interim order may be made without holding a hearing and lasts for 21 days after the day on which it is made unless revoked before then.

ASIC makes an order under subsection (1) after the conclusion of the hearing; or

(b)

the interim order is revoked;
