Minister, it's true, isn't it, that someone can go from being a Director-General of ASIO on 1 January, take a month off and go to be the IGIS inspector a month later? Or they can move from being in charge of ASIS on 1 July and then go to be the Inspector-General on 2 July? They can literally walk out, have a fortnight off, and then go straight into being the independent inspector of the agency they've just walked out of. Is that how it works?
