I'll read part of Senator McPhedran's affidavit in Federal Court. It's point 30. It says that it was clear to her from their exchanges that Mr. Young, with the approval of Mr. Jungic—I believe he's referring to Mr. Oz Jungic, a former policy adviser in GAC in the minister's office who is now an adviser in the PMO—“had delegated authority to myself and Ms. Robinson”—who was a consultant working on this—“to insert names of persons already discussed and to add new names to the visa facilitation letter template” and that this flexible and pragmatic approach made sense.
Would a minister's office policy adviser have the authority to delegate such authority to a sitting senator?
