Commonwealth Consolidated Acts Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) If an application for road transport contractual chain guidelines is made to the FWC under subsection 536QQ(1), the FWC may decide to:
(a) refuse to consider the application; or
(b) make road transport contractual chain guidelines under subsection 536QP(1); or
(c) not make road transport contractual chain guidelines; or
(d) if the FWC considers it appropriate to do so, instead make a road transport contractual chain order under subsection 536PD(1), as if the application had been an application under subsection 536PE(1) for a road transport contractual chain order in relation to the persons covered by the application under subsection 536QQ(1).
(2) Without limiting subsection (1), the FWC may refuse to consider the application if it is not consistent with a direction of the President under subsection 582(4D) (prioritisation).
