  • (a) arrange for a copy of that statement to be published in the Gazette ; and

  • (b) present a copy of that statement to the House of Representatives.

  (3) To avoid doubt, a statement of economic policy of the Government transmitted to the Commission under this section is not a direction for the purposes of Part 3 of the Crown Entities Act 2004.
