52: Conduct of reviews

You could also call this:

"The Board reviews a publication again from the start."

Illustration for Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993

When you ask for a review under this Part, it will happen as soon as possible. You will get a new look at the publication by the Board, and they will not think about what the Classification Office said before. The Board will look at any publication sent to them under section 47 to decide its classification. When the Board decides the classification of a publication, they will think about the things mentioned in sections 3 to 3D. They will make their decision based on these things. You can find more information about this in the links to sections 3 to 3D and section 47. The Board's job is to make sure the publication gets the right classification. They do this by following the rules. You can read about the rules in the links to the different sections.
