Anti-terrorism reforms put OZschwitz democracy at risk

The Abbott government has embarked on the biggest expansion of Australia’s anti-terrorism laws since the 2005 London bombings. Changes do need to be made. Many laws are in poor shape after being rushed through prior parliaments, while others need updating because of new technology.

Unfortunately, the government has overreached in its reforms, which go much further than what is required. In fact, the extent to which its changes would extend the powers of government at the expense of citizens is unexpected and quite shocking.

The first bill is already in Parliament. It allows greater surveillance of computers, grants immunity from prosecution to intelligence officers engaged in special operations, and exposes journalists to jail for publishing even general information about a terrorism investigation.
