The delegation is for the eSafety Commissioner to give. There is no automatic right to anyone in ACMA to have the capacity to issue such infringement notices. That capacity rests with the eSafety Commissioner, who can delegate to officers that she deems to be appropriate.

The reason ACMA is specified is because the staff of the eSafety Commissioner are employed by ACMA. So she has the authority to delegate and will do so to appropriate individuals.
