The government tabled its response to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security on 27 July 2023. The committee recommended that the government consider amendments to provide greater information sharing between the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security and the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security. Since the committee presented its report, the Attorney-General introduced this bill. The bill proposes amendments that will establish a closer relationship between the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security and the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security, and it was referred. That is the position of the government. We did not support those changes.
