14. (1) Unless the Minister otherwise directs in a particular case, section 
13 does not apply in relation to tenders received for the supply of goods for
a Commonwealth authority if the tenders set out the Australian content of the

        that are set out in such of those tenders as are suitable tenders are
        equal; or

   (b)  the lowest of those percentage figures is less by not more than 10
        than the highest of those percentage figures.

(2) A Commonwealth authority may refer to the Minister for his direction the
question whether a tender should be treated as unsuitable for further
consideration, and shall do so in any case where the regulations so provide.
(3) In this section, "tender" includes any quotation for the supply of goods.
