The provided text is a pair of explanatory memoranda for Australia's Surveillance Legislation (Confirmation of Application) Bill 2024. The Bill aims to legally confirm the admissibility of evidence gathered during Operation Ironside, a major investigation into transnational crime, using the AN0M encrypted messaging app. The memoranda clarify that this evidence, obtained via warrants, does not constitute intercepted communications under existing law and thus was lawfully obtained. A key part of the justification centers on legal decisions confirming that the AN0M application's design prevented interception as legally defined. Finally, a supplementary memorandum corrects a typographical error in the list of warrants included in the Bill.
