 (2) I am satisfied, on the basis of the information given to me by the applicant agency, that:

 (a) Division 3 of Part 25 of the Act has been complied with in relation to the application for this warrant; and

 *(b) because of urgent circumstances, it was necessary to make the application by telephone; and

 (c) there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the named person is using, or is likely to use, more than one telecommunications service; and

 (e) information that would be likely to be obtained by intercepting under a warrant communications made by means of the particular telecommunications *device/*devices that the named person is using, or is likely to use, would be likely to substantially assist in connection with:

 *(i) achieving a Part 9.10 object; or

 *(ii) determining whether the community safety supervision order, or any succeeding community safety supervision order, has been, or is being, complied with.

Note: For paragraph (2)(d), section 6UA of the Act deems community safety supervision orders to be in force if they have been made but not yet come into force.

 (3) I am satisfied, on the basis of the information given to me by the applicant agency, that the warrant should be issued having regard to the following matters only:

 (a) how much the privacy of any person or persons would be likely to be interfered with by intercepting under a warrant communications made by means of the particular telecommunications *device/*devices used, or likely to be used, by the named person;

 (c) to what extent methods (including the use of a warrant issued under section 46 of the Act) for:

 (ii) determining whether the community safety supervision order, or any succeeding community safety supervision order, has been, or is being, complied with;

  that do not involve the use of a warrant issued under section 46A of the Act in relation to the named person have been used by, or are available to, the applicant agency;

 (d) how much the use of such methods would be likely to assist in connection with:

 (i) achieving a Part 9.10 object; or

 (ii) determining whether the community safety supervision order, or any succeeding community safety supervision order, has been, or is being, complied with;

 (e) how much the use of such methods would be likely to prejudice:

 (i) achieving a Part 9.10 object; or

 (ii) determining whether the community safety supervision order, or any succeeding community safety supervision order, has been, or is being, complied with;

  whether because of delay or for any other reason;

 (f) whether intercepting under a warrant communications referred to in paragraph (a) would be the method that is likely to have the least interference with any person’s privacy;

 *(g) the possibility that the person in relation to whom the community safety supervision order is in force has committed, is committing, or will commit a serious violent or sexual offence;

 (h) the possibility that the person in relation to whom the community safety supervision order is in force:

1  Authorisation

 (1) I, [name], *an eligible Judge/*a nominated AAT member within the meaning of the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 (the Act), acting under section 48 of the Act, authorise:

 (a) entry on the premises mentioned above in order to install, maintain, use or recover equipment or a line used in the interception of communications being made to or from the telecommunications service mentioned above; and

 (b) interceptions of such communications by the use of that equipment or line.

 (2) This warrant authorises:

 (a) entry on the premises:

 (i) *at any time of the day or night/*during the hours of [specify hours during which entry on the premises is authorised], for the purposes mentioned in paragraph (1)(a); and

  [specify measures authorised to be taken].

 (3) I am satisfied:

 (a) that subsection 48(2) of the Act has been complied with in relation to the application for this warrant; and

 (b) on the basis of the information given to me by the applicant agency, that:

 (i) subsection 46(9) of the Act would empower me to issue a warrant if the application had been made under section 46 of the Act; and

 (ii) Division 3 of Part 25 of the Act has been complied with in relation to this application; and

 *(iii) because of urgent circumstances, it was necessary to make the application by telephone; and

 (iv) there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the particular person mentioned above is using, or is likely to use, the service; and

 (v) a community safety supervision order is in force (including because of section 6UA of the Act) in relation to:

  *[if subparagraph 46(9)(d)(ii) of the Act would apply if the application had been made under section 46 of the Act] the particular person mentioned above; and

  *because, if the warrant were issued under section 46 of the Act, communications to or from the telecommunications service would be intercepted while passing over a telecommunications system and execution of the warrant as a result of action taken by employees of that carrier might jeopardise the achievement of the objective for which the warrant was issued.
