| Subject: OZschwitz ASIO gets new wiretap powers - So count on even more fuckups to come Wed Oct 13, 2010 2:47 am | |
| THE steadily increasing power of Australia's domestic spy agency is set to continue, with legislative amendments to give ASIO the power to run the wiretaps of more than a dozen domestic law enforcement agencies.
The changes will also seek to allow intelligence agencies to share more information and to increase co-operation on investigations into terrorists and other threats to the nation's security.
The changes, reintroduced to parliament after August's federal election, are to a trio of acts governing ASIO, three other spy agencies, and the Commonwealth's ''wiretap'' act.
