47. 关于来文方声称尽管情报和安全监察长已致函安全总监，Jaffarie 先生的不利安全评估仍然有效，政府回顾说，如前所述，法院支持澳大利亚安全情报组织的评估。监察长的作用是协助部长们监督和审查澳大利亚情报机构活动的合法性和适当性，这些机构活动的有效性和适当性关系到其活动的合法性和正当性，并确保这些活动以符合人权的方式进行。虽然许多调查的结果出现在年度报告中，但监察长的调查是私下进行的，所涉及的许多信息仍然是保密的，不能公开发布。
47. In reference to the source’s claim that Mr. Jaffarie’s adverse security assessment stands despite the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security having written to the Director General of Security, the Government recalls that, as previously noted, the courts have upheld the assessment of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation. The role of the Inspector-General is to assist Ministers in overseeing and reviewing the legality and propriety of the activities of the Australian intelligence agencies, the effectiveness and appropriateness of the activities of those agencies relating to the legality or propriety of their activities and to ensure that these activities are conducted in a way that is consistent with human rights. While the outcomes of many inquiries appear in annual reports, the inquiries of the Inspector-General are conducted in private and much of the information involved remains classified and cannot be released publically.
