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) (10:27): Senator, if you refer to that legislation, you would note that it's actually up to the director to decide whether there's a conflict. We've gone through that back-and-forth today. That's been considered.

The director doesn't consider that there is an actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest. The provisions we're seeking to amend today would make it even easier for a conflict to be managed, and we hope to get the support of the parliament.
