SenateThursday 13 August 2026

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

Senator CASH (Western Australia—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (10:38): In the event that a conflict is identified, is the Attorney-General expressly required to then be satisfied that the person that is being authorised has no actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest themselves, given, as you just said, there are lots of people in the CDPP and they may well have worked on a particular matter.

So how do you then ensure that the infection that has been identified does not then flow through?
