I foreshadow to the minister that I will be moving amendments in two blocks, seeking leave to move (1) and (2) together and (3) to (10) together. Before I do that, I have a question for the minister in this consideration in detail stage about the operation of the amendment bill. It goes to the question of an innocent member of the public who is not suspected of having committed any offence under the legislation or under any legislation and is not suspected of having been connected with a suspect in any way. I ask: can the minister confirm whether an individual member of the public's tablet, iPhone or any other device that that individual member of the public has is capable of being subject to a warrant, even though that individual member of the public is not suspected of having committed an offence and is in no position to be connected to a suspect, other than being on the same network as someone who is the subject of a warrant? Can the minister confirm that the individual member of the public is themselves exposed to having their tablet or iPhone or any other device accessed, modified or surveilled, even though they are not suspected of having done anything wrong?
