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) (12:03): Senator Cash, I have answered your question. I know that you're seeking a more definitive answer, but that's the information I have in front of me. There would be internal processes in place if there was a conflict of interest that had been identified.

The process which is currently in place would be implemented. After this bill passes, hopefully with the support of the Senate, there will be a new process. But it all, I guess, hinges on whether there is a conflict of interest.

As I've said to you, the government's view is that there is no current conflict of interest.
