by leave—I move Australian Greens amendments (2) and (3) on sheet 1078 together:

(2) Clause 50, page 60 (after line 7), after the paragraph beginning "The Minister must take into account", insert:

Decisions made by the Minister under this Act may be reviewed by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

(3) Page 62 (after line 25), after Division 2, insert:

Division 2A—Review of decisions

51A Review of decisions

(1) Applications may be made to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal for review of decisions made by the Minister under this Act.

(2) A notice that the Minister is required to give under this Act in relation to a decision by the Minister must state the reasons for the decision.

Note: Section 25D of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 sets out rules about the contents of a statement of reasons.

These amendments are very similar to but not as detailed as the clauses in the Labor Party's amendments that have just been considered, but I have moved them anyway.
