        (1)         The Commissioner may publish, on a website maintained by the Commissioner, any or all of the personal details of a registrable offender (other than a registrable offender who is a child) if—

            (a)         the Commissioner is satisfied that the registrable offender—

                  (i)         has failed to comply with any of his or her reporting obligations; or

                  (ii)         in purported compliance with Part 3, has provided information that is false or misleading in a material particular; and

            (b)         the registrable offender's whereabouts are not known to the Commissioner.

        (1a)         For the avoidance of doubt, information published by the Commissioner under this section (whether before or after the commencement of this subsection) may specify that the person to whom it relates is a registrable offender.

        (2)         The Commissioner may at any time—

            (a)         remove any or all of the personal details of a registrable offender from the website on which they are published under subsection (1); or

            (b)         again publish under subsection (1) any or all of the personal details of the registrable offender after their removal under paragraph (a).

        (3)         If—

            (a)         the Commissioner has published any personal details of a registrable offender under subsection (1); and

            (b)         the registrable offender subsequently reports his or her whereabouts to the Commissioner under Part 3,

the Commissioner must, as soon as is practicable after receiving the report, remove those personal details from the website on which they are published.

        (4)         The Commissioner may not publish any personal details of the offender under this Part that are provided under section 13(1)(f) or (g) before notifying any party to whom the personal details relate (or a representative of the party) unless such disclosure would compromise a police investigation.

        (5)         In this section—

"personal details", in relation to a registrable offender—

            (a)         includes a photograph of the offender; but

            (b)         does not include any details that the offender reports under section 13(1)(e) or (ea) or any other details that would identify a child.
