I asked you a very straightforward question. Senator Macdonald did not raise this in his comments. You did not therefore address them because he did not think to ask. Is there a theoretical maximum to the number of devices that can now be caught by a single warrant, given that we have expanded the definition of a computer to include a network or networks. That is a fairly straightforward question that you have not addressed. If it is the case that there is no upper limit, just let us know. If there is an upper limit or if you let us know how ASIO would handle that internally at the stage of applying for it being granted a warrant then we can move on.
