I do not have the Intelligence Services Act with me to enable me to understand who decides whether it is within the purview of ASIS. Perhaps the minister can run me through how that would work. Does it have access to all of the AUSTRAC information and then make a decision about whether it falls within its purview? I just want to understand that explanation. I think you are saying that it looks at it only if it is within its jurisdiction. Who decides that it falls within its jurisdiction? Does it decide that itself? In a practical sense, does that work such that it has access to all the information around AUSTRAC and then it decides what of that information is relevant to its jurisdiction and then its investigations?
