I thank Senator Lambie for her supplementary question. I would reiterate the remarks I made during my first response to her initial question. The Commonwealth Integrity Commission, as I said, would be the lead body in our successful multiagency anticorruption framework. The public sector integrity division will have oversight of Commonwealth departments, agencies and their staff, parliamentarians and their staff—that goes to the question about two parliamentarians from Senator Lambie so far—and the staff of federal judicial officers, as well as recipients of Commonwealth funds in appropriate circumstances. The structure of the commission also ensures that the courts remain the sole arbiter of a person's guilt or innocence. In terms of the law enforcement integrity division, it will expand the jurisdiction of ACLEI, and it will have all of ACLEI's existing powers and functions, including oversight of a range of agencies in that context, which I'm happy to go into if Senator Lambie wishes me to.
