New powers allowing police to order anyone in an airport to produce identification has been criticised as an "authoritarian" step that will do little to improve Australia's counter-terrorism efforts.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull conceded on Tuesday that the new powers were a significant step, but necessary for the "dangerous times" in which we live.
