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

Senator GREEN (Queensland—Assistant Minister for Tourism, Assistant Minister for Pacific Island Affairs and Assistant Minister for Northern Australia) (12:00): I think the distinction that I am seeking to make that you can argue about—I've made it clear that the AFP investigates these matters and has investigated this particular matter. I have also said to you I am trying to be very courteous to the courts and to any defendants in any particular criminal proceedings by not talking about particular cases, but there is a process where, if I could talk in general terms, the AFP is the investigating agency and then the CDPP prosecutes.

I think you are referring to a separate investigation.
