In our counter-terrorism powers inspection report for August 2023, we noted that discussions with Victoria Police on the role of the applicant in executing a covert search warrant under Part 2 of the Terrorism (Community Protection) Act 2003 remained on hold pending the receipt of further information.
For the September 2023 and April 2024 period, we received additional information from Victoria Police that enabled the closure of the 3 remaining recommendations we made from our inspection of covert search warrants in February 2021 (refer to pages 7 and 8 of the April 2024 report for further details).
We did not raise any compliance concerns or make any recommendations in our October 2024 inspection report.
