Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated ActsA failure by a person other than a reportable offender to comply with a procedural requirement imposed on the person by this part or a regulation does not, of itself, affect a reportable offender’s reporting obligations.
Note—This section aims to prevent a reportable offender who was not given notice of a reporting obligation by an official as required by this part from arguing that the obligation does not apply to the reportable offender as a result of that failure if there is evidence that the reportable offender was aware of the obligation through some other way. If there is no evidence of that, then the reportable offender would have a defence to the charge under section 50 (4) on the basis that the person was not aware of the obligation.
