that the nature and extent of the suspected criminal activity are such as to justify the conduct of a controlled operation; and

that any unlawful conduct involved in conducting the operation will be limited to the maximum extent consistent with conducting an effective controlled operation; and

that the proposed controlled conduct will be capable of being accounted for in a way that will enable the reporting requirements of Division 6 to be complied with; and

that the operation will not be conducted in such a way that a person is likely to be induced to commit an offence that the person would not otherwise have intended to commit; and

that any conduct involved in the operation will not—

seriously endanger the health or safety of any person; or

cause the death of, or serious injury to, any person; or

result in unlawful loss of or serious damage to property (other than illicit goods).
