Mr. Derek Priestley:

What we are pointing towards there is that any dismissal in the past was centred around national security interests or concerns around the probity of an individual. It would not be disciplinary or HR related. This is moving it into a more modern context where somebody might have been found guilty of whatever offence, and then it is deemed going forward, because of the conviction, that a person would then be dismissed. It is moving from a national security focus whereby we have all been security vetted to come in and serve, and something has happened where that is no longer appropriate, to a wider format, as suggested by Senator Kyne, to allow for a normal HR and disciplinary process. We would expect it to be fleshed out further in the regulation but, as we point out, our concern is that we will not get an opportunity to be consulted on that either.
