Thank you, Senator Nampijinpa Price. I did provide some information about this in my second reading contribution because I had noted your remarks about this in yours. Essentially, the specifics of security clearance processes are, of course, confidential, but they do require extensive checks to identify and manage risk. The Australian Government Security Vetting Agency independently conducts security assessments for all individuals who require a security clearance, and these assessments are rigorous and ongoing.
