Bolster oversight of National Intelligence Community agencies.
The Government will provide $25.8 million over 4 years from 2023-24 (and $8.1 million per year ongoing) to bolster oversight of National Intelligence Community agencies. Funding includes:
* $12.4 million over 4 years from 2023-24 to support the review of national security and counter-terrorism laws by a full-time Independent National Security Legislation Monitor
* $12.2 million over 3 years from 2024-25 for the Office of the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security to support the Inspector-General's oversight role
* $1.3 million over 4 years from 2023-24 to the Department of the House of Representatives to support an expansion of the oversight role of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security. The cost of this measure will be met from within the existing resourcing of the National Intelligence Community agencies.
