I respect Senator Murray’s concerns on this but the point I made needs to be clear, because Senator Ludwig has this misconception. This is a financial intelligence unit. AUSTRAC is a financial intelligence unit; it data mines for information. It acquires intelligence. It does not prosecute; it does not enforce.
