In the event that a conflict is identified, is the Attorney-General expressly required to then be satisfied that the person that is being authorised has no actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest themselves, given, as you just said, there are lots of people in the CDPP and they may well have worked on a particular matter. So how do you then ensure that the infection that has been identified does not then flow through?
