160 Consideration of application
Before deciding the application, the judge must, in particular, and being mindful of the highly intrusive nature of the exercise of power under an additional powers warrant, consider the following—
the nature and seriousness of the corruption or terrorism being investigated;
the significance to the commission’s purposes of the objects of the proposed exercise of authority;
the extent to which commission officers investigating the matter have used or can use other powers for the investigation;
how much the use of the additional powers would be likely to help in the investigation of the matter;
any submissions made by a monitor.
