Without embarrassing Mr Bassi, I can say that you do have some pretty good staff and advisers working with you.

You mentioned that there is a provision for an ASIO officer to be a whistleblower. There is a mechanism there; they are not exempt from provisions of the whistleblower act. I take it—and a nod from the Attorney would be sufficient—that also applies to ASIS officers as well?
