The minister may misunderstand my question. It seems to me that Australia may exchange information under this legislation with a foreign intelligence agency, for instance. How does the minister suggest that, if a foreign intelligence agency wants to pass it on to Interpol, Australia would be able to interfere with that? I do not think they would. There may be no good reason why Interpol should not get the information but, as far as I can see, a foreign intelligence agency which has a relationship with Interpol would be able to pass on information which it received from Australia. That would seem to be possible.
