I thank the minister for the answer. In the existing Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act, section 127(3)(a) allows ASIO officials to disclose information obtained from AUSTRAC if:

(a)
the disclosure is for the purposes of, or in connection with, the performance of the official’s duties …

Does that, as it currently stands in the existing AMLCTF legislation, allow ASIO to disclose information to ASIS ‘for the purposes of, or in connection with, the performance of the official’s duty’?
