I will address the question by responding to the provisions that are in front of us. I gave this evidence to Senator Cash before. I will speak in general terms, because you're referencing a particular type of crime, not a particular proceeding. The provisions that we've put forward enable the Attorney-General to make an authorisation in relation to a particular proceeding—in relation to a particular function—or a standing authorisation. That authorisation can be revoked or varied at any time. That's a very abbreviated version of the provisions that are in the bill.
