I'd only add, for example, that the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security is not an agent of the parliament. It's an arm of the executive, residing within PM&C. Obviously, the inspector-general has great powers—standing royal commission powers—to examine the intelligence services, but her jurisdiction may not cover some aspects of these sorts of operations. So, once again, if it's possible, maybe on notice, to look at the interaction between the IGIS and this act in respect of her jurisdiction?
