I raised this point previously with the Deputy.

Everything is covered by the Bill and nothing is excluded. It is just that because of the sensitive nature of this small subset of information, there is a unique channel for this, although I suppose that is a word I have to be careful of nowadays, as a disclosure recipient. There is no difficulty with whistleblowing, but one just cannot blow the whistle on matters that impact on State security or interaction between Governments in the normal way. It is through a discrete, narrower channel.
