Well, may I be clear, first of all, that I think there are two separate legal questions that may have been bundled up in yours. One is whether or not it's possible for Parliament to enact a law requiring a collection of information, and whether or not by virtue of that law the Privacy Act makes space for it to apply. That was my point before. I think that's the way the laws work. The Privacy Act says that it's subject to other acts of Parliament, so if Parliament enacts a law for the collection of information, as is proposed, or if Parliament enacts a law, as it has already done, for the sharing of information, then I think the Privacy Act makes space for that.
I think a separate point you're making is whether or not there's a constitutional issue with this legislation. My understanding of Mr. Hogg's view is that he thought there might be some claim that because there's at least part of this that's based on a collection of information determined by reference to citizenship, this could be an issue.
I'm afraid I don't know, Mr. Arvay's views on that.
The direct answer to your question on the constitutional point is that the Minister of Justice is charged with conveying to Parliament a view, if it ever arises, that there's a constitutional or charter issue with the legislation. It has been examined, and no such view has been conveyed.
