This submission to the Minister for Home Affairs from July 2025 seeks approval for urgent amendments to the controlled operations framework under Part IAB of the Crimes Act 1914, to be incorporated into the Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025 (TOLA Bill). The Department recommends amending the threshold for authorising controlled operations and varying existing policy authority previously provided by the Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister to reflect implementation changes for network activity warrant and testing provisions under the Telecommunications Interception Act. The submission requests the Minister sign a letter to the Prime Minister seeking policy authority for the Crimes Act amendments, approval to vary existing policy authority for TIA Act amendments, and authorization to add the controlled operations amendment to the Spring 2025 legislative program for introduction in late August. The documents note that consequential TIA Act amendments became necessary during drafting and consultation processes to achieve agreed policy objectives.
