Can I confirm the way this particular clause of the legislation is then triggered? It's not the Attorney-General who utilises the powers because she or he perceives there is a conflict. In the first instance, the director identifies the conflict and then says to the Attorney-General, 'Those powers are now triggered,' not the other way around.
