I have a question for the minister about the penalties that would apply under this legislation. For someone who manages a network—the minister would not say whether or not a network at a workplace counts; let's assume it does, and I will come back to whether it includes the whole internet in a moment—if ASIO or someone accesses a network in the workplace pursuant to a warrant, if the systems administrator or network operator of that workplace believes that they have been hacked and then takes countermeasures to remove the intrusion, will that network administrator or operator be subject to prosecution under this bill?
