Crimes Act 1914

Subject to subsection (2), an authority:

authorises each law enforcement participant in the controlled operation to which the authority relates who is identified in the authority to engage in the controlled conduct specified in the authority in respect of that participant; and

authorises each civilian participant (if any) in the controlled operation to which the authority relates who is identified in the authority to engage in the particular controlled conduct (if any) specified in the authority in respect of that participant.

A person identified in an authority as being authorised to engage in controlled conduct for the purposes of the controlled operation is authorised to do so for the period of effect of the authority, unless:

the authority specifies a shorter period during which the person is so authorised; or

the authority is varied to provide that the person is no longer so authorised; or

the authority is cancelled before the end of that period.

The authority to engage in controlled conduct given to a participant cannot be delegated to any other person.
