Thank you for that answer in relation to the practical aspect. I just go to the other question. It is a big job for the AUSTRAC CEO to determine whether or not the ASIS or other intelligence agency request is within the purview. What information do they have to assist them in making the assessment about whether the request from ASIS is appropriate?

I accept the answer you have given about how it would work in a practical sense, but it is a big job to have them do. What information and expertise does the AUSTRAC CEO have in order to make the assessment about whether or not the ASIS request is appropriate to the purview of ASIS?
