Criminal Justice (Joint Investigation Teams) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

Senator Terry asked about the cost of joint investigation teams. It is not possible at this point to give an estimate of the cost of establishment of such a team or involvement in it. The cost will vary depending on issues such as the nature, size and length of investigations into offences, conduct or suspected conduct. This question will be addressed by the member states involved in the agreement setting up the joint investigation team. However, everyone will agree that the benefits to be gained from the establishment of such teams and the fight against terrorism, in particular, will largely outweigh any cost involved.
