The Law Council of Australia has welcomed ASIO’s appointment of a new Independent Reviewer of Adverse Security Assessments.
Mr Robert Cornall AO has been appointed the role, following his predecessor Margaret Stone’s appointment as the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security in August.
“ASIO’s security assessment function is a core part of Australia’s national security defences, but to ensure this function accords with fundamental rule of law principles, such as the right to procedural fairness, a strong reviewer is critical,” Mr McConnel said.
“The Law Council of Australia is confident that Mr Cornall’s legal experience and background will enable him to execute his new responsibilities with distinction.”
