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

Senator CASH (Western Australia—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (10:29): If the director is therefore independent—your evidence appears to be that the Attorney-General has no role, including in relation to the policy, if she herself thought, 'Well, hey, hold on, there is a conflict;' your answer was no—can I ask, therefore, why the government has drafted legislation that therefore allows the Attorney-General to select the person who exercises the director's powers?
