ob体育's role in advising the Minister/delegate on matters
The delegation arrangements will speed up the process for obtaining regulatory approvals. It does not otherwise change the way ob体育 engages with stakeholders and the matters that ob体育 considers in preparing its advice to the Minister (or delegate). For example, ob体育, in its advisory function, will continue to have regard to:
the requirements in the Corporations Act;
ob体育's strategic objectives;
advice from other government agencies (including the Reserve Bank of Australia);
international developments; and
the nature and extent of the public consultation process undertaken in relation to a matter and the feedback provided from that process.
