In line with existing New Zealand law, the bill requires the consent of the Attorney-General to bring proceedings in relation to the extra territorial offences created by clause 34 of the bill. But it allows enforcement powers to be exercised before such consent is received. This is an important balance. In the operation pursuant to the bill, it may be necessary to urgently arrest a person and remand them in custody before the Attorney-General's consent is received—for example, if a person is a flight risk or a danger to the public.
