168 hours starting when the person was first brought before a prescribed authority under the warrant.

Contacting persons

 (5) The warrant may identify someone whom the person is permitted to contact by reference to the fact that he or she is a lawyer of the person's choice or has a particular legal or familial relationship with the person. This does not limit the ways in which the warrant may identify persons whom the person is permitted to contact.

Note 1: The warrant may identify persons by reference to a class. See subsection 46(3) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.

Note 2: Section 34K permits the person to contact the Inspector‑General of Intelligence and Security and the Commonwealth Ombudsman while the person is in custody or detention, so the warrant must identify them.

Note 3: A warrant issued under this section must permit the person to contact a single lawyer of the person's choice, so the warrant must identify such a lawyer.

 (6) The warrant may specify times when the person is permitted to contact someone identified as a lawyer of the person's choice by reference to the fact that the times are:
 (a) while the person is in detention in connection with the warrant; and
 (b) after:
 (i) the person has been brought before a prescribed authority for questioning; and
 (ii) the person has informed the prescribed authority, in the presence of a person exercising authority under the warrant, of the identity of the lawyer whom the person proposes to contact; and
 (iii) a person exercising authority under the warrant has had an opportunity to request the prescribed authority to direct under section 34ZO that the person be prevented from contacting the lawyer.

Warrant must authorise certain actions by the Organisation

 (7) Also, the warrant must, in the same terms as the draft warrant given to the issuing authority as part of the request:
 (a) authorise the Organisation, subject to any restrictions or conditions, to question the person before a prescribed authority by requesting the person to do either or both of the following:
 (i) give information that is or may be relevant to intelligence that is important in relation to a terrorism offence;
 (ii) produce records or things that are or may be relevant to intelligence that is important in relation to a terrorism offence; and
 (b) authorise the Organisation, subject to any restrictions or conditions, to make copies and/or transcripts of a record produced by the person before a prescribed authority in response to a request in accordance with the warrant.

Warrant to be signed and to specify the period it is in force
