Your answer has made it a bit more unclear to me. From your answer, I am not sure now whether the foreign intelligence officer will be involved in undercover operations in Australia or overseas. I thought what we were talking about was the foreign intelligence officer’s involvement in breaking Australian law in Australia, but your answer seemed to suggest that they will be operating in their country and AFP officers can be breaking the law here. Can the minister clarify that? I thought we were talking about foreign intelligence officers breaking Australian law in Australia. Are you talking about them only being involved in their home country?
