Senator Brandis, I will go back to the transcript, because I thought that when I asked you before who powers could be delegated to you were black and white. You repeated yourself a number of times that they could only be delegated to an officer of ASIO. Now you are saying that they could be delegated to a contractor or a subcontractor who is not an officer of ASIO. Just clarify for us exactly how this provision will operate, if you will.
