It's much quicker than that. In really serious cases, we would escalate it, and we could get the information the same day.
The other thing that I was going to mention is that, between some agencies, like the police and us, we have approved information-sharing agreements, which gives them permission to proactively share with us. For example, if a migrant is convicted of an offence, we would not need to ask the police about that; they will tell us. That is done through a legal agreement vehicle called an approved information-sharing agreement, which is a process under our Privacy Act.
For the transactional stuff, it really depends on the workload. If we needed information quickly, if it was a really serious offence and if public safety depended on it, I'm confident that we could get the information from the police or the other agencies, if not that day, the next day.
