My question related to the present. Enhanced human, financial and technological resources will be needed. It is obvious that given the legislative and resource constraints, significant or otherwise, a certain level of white-collar crime must be going undetected. We would not be having this conversation if Ms Goggin had all the powers and resources needed.

I am trying to get a picture of what this legislation will do, in terms of improvements, if certain white-collar crime goes undetected but Ms Goggins is confident these enhanced powers will assist in addressing that.
