Official Information Act 1982

Review of decisions - Decisions under Part 2 and section 10

32A: Requirements in relation to Order in Council

You could also call this:

"Rules for creating an Order in Council, including what it must say and how it's made"

When an Order in Council is made under section 32, you will see it published in the Gazette and laid before the House of Representatives as soon as possible after it is made. This Order in Council must explain why it was made and give the reasons to support those decisions. You can find the details of the Order in Council in the section 32 of the Act.

If an Order in Council is made because of a recommendation under section 30(1), it can only be made for the reasons that were looked at by the Ombudsman when the recommendation was made. The Order in Council cannot be made for any other reasons. This means the reasons for the Order in Council are limited to what the Ombudsman considered.

The details of the Order in Council, including why it was made, must be available for you to see. You can look at the section 32 to understand how Orders in Council are made. This helps you know what to expect when an Order in Council is made under this section.
