Dear Prime Minister
I present herewith my annual report, as required by section 35 of the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security Act 1986. The report covers the period between 1 July 2005 and 30 June 2006.
The report has been prepared in compliance with the Requirements for Annual Reports, issued by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet in June 2006.
Each of the agencies within my jurisdiction has confirmed that the components of the report which relate to them will not prejudice the security or defence of Australia, or Australia’s relations with other countries. Care has also been taken to protect the privacy of individuals. The report is therefore suitable to be laid before each House of the Parliament.
Yours sincerely
Ian Carnell
Inspector-General of
Intelligence and Security
