control order (including information that is sworn or affirmed by the member);
(b) an explanation that is sworn or affirmed as to why the making of the interim control order without first obtaining the Attorney-General’s consent is urgent.
Note: The member might commit an offence if the request is false or misleading (see sections 137.1 and 137.2).
104.9 Making an urgent interim control order in person
(1) Before making an order in response to a request under section 104.8, the issuing court must:
(a) consider the information and the explanation included in the request; and
(b) receive and consider such further information (if any) as the court requires.
(2) If the issuing court is satisfied that an order should be made urgently, the court may make the same order that would be made under sections 104.4 and 104.5.
(3) Within 24 hours of the order being made under subsection (2), the member must:
(a) give or transmit a copy of the order to the issuing court; and
(b) either:
(i) give or transmit a copy of the Attorney-General’s consent to request the order to the court; or
(ii) notify the court in writing that the Attorney-General’s consent was not obtained.
Note: Section 104.10 deals with the Attorney-General’s consent.
104.10 Obtaining the Attorney-General’s consent within 4 hours
(1) If the Attorney-General’s consent to request an interim control order was not first sought before making a request under section 104.6 or 104.8, the senior AFP member who made the request must, in accordance with subsection 104.2(3), seek that consent within 4 hours of making the request.
(2) In any case, if the Attorney-General:
(a) refuses his or her consent to request the order; or
(b) has not given his or her consent to request the order;
within 4 hours of the request being made, the order immediately ceases to be in force.
Note: However, the senior AFP member can vary the request and seek the Attorney-General’s consent to request a new interim control order in relation to the person (see subsection 104.2(5)).
(3) If the order ceases to be in force under subsection (2), the senior AFP member must, as soon as practicable:
(a) notify the court that the order has ceased to be in force; and
(b) if the order has been served on the person in relation to whom it was made:
(i) annotate the order to indicate that it has ceased to be in force; and
(ii) cause the annotated order to be served personally on the person.
104.11 Court to assume that exercise of power not authorised by urgent interim control order
If:
(a) it is material, in any proceedings, for a court to be satisfied that an interim control order was duly made under section 104.7; and
(b) the form of order completed by the relevant issuing court is not produced in evidence;
the first-mentioned court is to assume, unless the contrary is proved, that the order was not duly made.

(3) Paragraphs (1)(b) and (c) do not apply if the actions of the person in relation to whom the interim control order has been made make it impracticable for the AFP member to comply with those paragraphs.
(4) A failure to comply with paragraph (1)(c) does not make the control order ineffective to any extent.
Queensland public interest monitor to be given copy of interim control order
(5) If:
(a) the person in relation to whom the interim control order is made is a resident of Queensland; or
(b) the issuing court that made the interim control order did so in Queensland;
an AFP member must give to the Queensland public interest monitor a copy of the order.
104.12A Election to confirm control order
(1) At least 48 hours before the day specified in an interim control order as mentioned in paragraph 104.5(1)(e), the senior AFP member who requested the order must:

(a) to prejudice national security (within the meaning of the National Security Information (Criminal and Civil Proceedings) Act 2004); or
(b) to be protected by public interest immunity; or
(c) to put at risk ongoing operations by law enforcement agencies or intelligence agencies; or
(d) to put at risk the safety of the community, law enforcement officers or intelligence officers.
The fact that information of a kind mentioned in this subsection is not required to be disclosed does not imply that such information is required to be disclosed in other provisions of this Part that relate to the disclosure of information.
(4) If the senior AFP member elects not to confirm the order, and the order has already been served on the person, then:
(a) the order immediately ceases to be in force; and
