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) (12:05): Thank you for checking, Senator Cash, because that was not my evidence. What I said to you is that there would be internal processes in place, but I cannot confirm today what those processes might be. We can seek to undertake to get you more information about what those processes might be, if there is any.

But what I have said to you is that there is a possibility that there are internal processes in place, but you are referring to a conflict of interest. If there's a conflict of interest, there's a current process under the legislation which is undertaken. Hopefully, if this legislation is passed, there will be a new process, but that relates to where there is a conflict of interest.
