The Hon. Karen Andrews MP, Minister for Home Affairs ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_Andrews ), referred the Security Legislation Amendment (Critical Infrastructure Protection) Bill 2022 to the Committee for inquiry and report. They take responsibility for its contents as drafted.

The current Secretary of the Department of Home Affairs (to whom the power would be given, should it not be delegated) is Michael Pezzullo AO ( https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about-us/who-we-are/our-senio... ).

Just when I thought she couldn't be any more useless. Now she's actively dangerous

As far as I am aware, Michael Pezzullo is the truly dangerous one.

She may have submitted it to the Parliament under her name but this entire document has Michael Pezzullo’s disgusting slimy fingerprints all over it. He’s been the driver behind more than a decade of disgusting authoritarian legislation.
