Bear with me one moment, Senator. I am sure that you will appreciate that there is a difference between this information being reported and the level at which it is reported, as opposed to your question, which is: where am I going to get a list from? Under the T(IA) Act there will be reporting by the agency which obtained the assistance. This reporting will be included in the TIA annual report, which will be tabled in parliament. As I have already mentioned, ASIO will be reporting under its current legislation. The Attorney-General will also be able to direct further reporting, particularly with respect to areas where public reporting may not be appropriate. This is one of the rationales behind the expansion of the joint parliamentary committee.
