51D: Publication and status of competition report

You could also call this:

"When the Commission finishes a report on competition, it must share it with the Minister and then make it public."

Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

The Commission has to give the final competition report to the Minister. You will be able to see the report yourself, but not right away. The Commission must make the report publicly available at least 5 working days after giving it to the Minister.

If you are wondering what the competition report means, it is not a decision made by the Commission. The Commission has to follow rules when making the report public, as set out in the Commerce Act 1986. This helps you understand how the report is handled.
