During the course of this enquiry, the Committee secretariat was
contacted by a staff member in the Chief Minister’s Department of the Northern Territory government. The caller noted that because the Attorney-General’s
Department had sent the letter asking for comments about the relisting to the
NT Attorney rather than to the Chief Minister, the letter did not enter the
consultative process as it would have done if it had been sent to the Chief
Minister. Therefore, the Chief Minister did not know of the relisting until
she received the Committee’s letter inviting submissions. It was then too late
to respond to the Attorney-General if the Chief Minister so wished. On this
occasion, the Chief Minister’s office did not have any comments to make on the
relisting, however the Chief Minister’s office noted that it would be
preferable if, as agreed under the Inter –Governmental Agreement on
Counter-terrorism Laws, future notification of listings and relistings
could be sent to the Chief Minister.
