I think I might have said that that reference was from PJCIS. It's actually from the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human RightsReport 5 of 2025. I just want to clarify that—sorry. Again, Minister, what you say and what the unanimous report of the parliamentary committee says are somewhat at odds. The human rights committee says at 1.231:

In relation to proportionality, broadening when an IPO may be issued, and allowing prescribed communication providers to share stored communications, exacerbates the previous concerns identified in relation to the IPO framework and the right to privacy. In particular, in relation to B-party orders where an order is made in relation to services used by an individual who is not the target allowing a prescribed communications provider to provide stored communications regarding this person appears to greatly broaden the amount of personal data that a provider can share even where the person is not the target of the investigation.

Now, is that right? Is the unanimous report from the parliamentary joint committee—which says that these amendments appear to 'greatly broaden the amount of personal data that a provider can share even where the person is not the target of the investigation'—right? That's the effect of this bill, isn't it?
