I move the Australian Greens' amendment on sheet 3172:

(1) Schedule 1, item 2, page 7 (after line 36), after section 41BB, insert:

41BBA Limitations on disclosure to National Cyber Security Coordinator

(1) The Director-General of ASD, or a staff member of ASD, must not communicate limited cyber security information to the National Cyber Security Coordinator that has been voluntarily provided to ASD, in the performance of its functions, by, or on behalf of, an entity unless:

(a) the entity has consented to the communication; or

(b) if urgent or other exceptional circumstances exist—the Director-General or the staff member has taken reasonable steps to obtain the consent of the entity to the communication, but the entity has not responded to the request for consent.

(2) If the Director-General of ASD, or a staff member of ASD, communicates limited cyber security information under this section in urgent or other exceptional circumstances without the consent of the entity, the Director-General or the staff member must notify the entity of the communication as soon as practicable after the communication occurs.

Question negatived.
