The Australian Democrats will certainly be supporting amendment (8). I will ask a question about amendment (7) but, in relation to (8), the idea of allowing for the notification of the person against whom the warrant is being exercised is something we support. These knowledge provisions are important. I ask the government to provide clarification as to the definition of the term ‘given’. Does it mean it is given personally? I am not sure. Is it given over the phone or in an email? Could the government elaborate on that?
