Thank you, Senator Shoebridge. Regarding the proposal, it's appropriate for protection and assistance to be suspended in circumstances where the AFP's ability to provide protection and assistance may be limited. This is because any limitation on the AFP's ability to provide protection and assistance would present a serious risk to both the participant and the AFP, as it could have serious consequences—for example, result in death or serious injury to the participant.
