section 22
Where a record discloses a contravention, AISIO determines whether a named individual is the first credible witness or the first responsible human. Two versions of every record.
Section 22 of the AISI Act governs how AISIO determines responsibility when a record discloses a contravention. AISIO must determine whether a named individual is the first credible witness or the first responsible human. Two versions of every record are produced — one for the investigation, one for the public.
How the term evolves
Contingent: Section 22 is the mechanism used against Nadia Cho — and the mechanism Rob uses to clear her.
Essential: The section becomes the focus of political debate about whether AISIO's investigative power is too broad or too narrow.
