I move:

That the amendments be agreed to.

The government is responding to recommendations made by the Senate Legal and Constitutional Affairs Legislation Committee. I thank the committee and the Senate on behalf of Special Minister of State for the Public Service and Integrity, Gary Gray, for their valuable contribution to the bill. It provides that the annual report prepared by the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security include comments on any matters arising during that year relating to the employment by and delegation of powers to individuals. This will provide further assurance that any delegation of power by the inspector-general is adequately reported in each annual report.

Question agreed to.
