by the Attorney‑General
 (5) If the Attorney‑General is satisfied that carrying on an investigation of a corruption issue at a place might prejudice the security or defence of the Commonwealth, the Attorney‑General may, by written notice to the Commissioner, declare the place to be a place to which this subsection applies.
 (6) While the declaration is in force, subsection (1) does not authorise a person to do anything at the place unless:
 (a) a Minister specified in the declaration (or another Minister acting for and on behalf of that Minister) has approved the person entering the place; and
 (b) the person complies with any conditions imposed by the Minister giving the approval in relation to:
 (i) the person entering that place; and
 (ii) the manner in which the investigation is to be carried on at that place.
 (7) A declaration by the Attorney‑General under this section is not a legislative instrument.
