SenateWednesday 12 August 2026

Crimes and Other Legislation Amendment (Omnibus No. 1) Bill 2026

Senator CASH (Western Australia—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (12:00): Sorry, I'm literally just trying to confirm something. The evidence that you have given is, 'Yes, the employment history has been disclosed.' Is it, therefore, the evidence that the director of the CDPP was involved in the investigation over the war crimes and she is now in charge of prosecuting?

Because—you are right—that is a conflict of interest. So is it your evidence that, yes, she was involved in the investigation over the war crimes and she is now in charge of prosecuting? It's a very simple question!
