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

Senator CASH (Western Australia—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (12:06): I think I understand your evidence. There's a current process in place. You're unable to give me evidence, but, hopefully, you've undertaken to take that on notice in terms of internal protocols.

So, despite the Ben Roberts-Smith prosecution commencing before this legislation passes the parliament, the current CDPP is still going to be subject to the new process in the event that a conflict arises.
