Parole Act 2002

Parole and other release from detention - Release - General provisions

13AD: If confidentiality order not made

You could also call this:

"What happens if your private information isn't kept secret"

If someone in charge refuses to keep your information secret, they must give you back all your documents. They must not tell anyone or let anyone see anything about your request. This rule applies even if other laws, like the Official Information Act 1982 or the Privacy Act 2020, say something different. You are protected by this rule, and the person in charge must follow it.
