The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Amendment Bill makes ASIO’s compulsory questioning powers broader and expands them with vague new grounds. I voted AGAINST the Bill. Extraordinary powers should never become ordinary. This afternoon the Australian Senate expanded the powers of the surveillance state.

This week the Senate is set to debate the ASIO Amendment Bill (No. 2). The Bill expands compulsory questioning powers to include the “promotion of communal violence” (whatever that means) and to continue to allow the questioning of children as young as 14. If passed, this Bill with broaden the powers so far that they might sweep up legitimate political activity. I will be opposing this Bill. Extraordinary powers should never become ordinary.

Finally! A Parliamentarian has spoken out forcefully against Anthony Albanese's bill giving ASIO police state powers. It's a devastating speech against police state authoritarianism, including restrictions on the right to protest, which makes comparisons to Nazis. Will PM Albo listen? * Anthony Albanese's 27 March 2003 speech against John Howard's Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Legislation Amendments (Terrorism) Bill 2003. Today, Albanese is pushing through Parliament the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Amendment Bill 2025 No 2 which will repeal the sunset clause Labor insisted on in 2003 so that these secret police powers would be temporary, and make them permanent.

In a few weeks, the Senate will vote on the ASIO Amendment Bill (No. 2)—and every Australian who values freedom under the law should be paying attention. This Bill doesn’t just extend extraordinary powers—it makes them permanent. Powers that were meant to expire by March 2027 would instead become ongoing. It expands compulsory questioning for adults and even minors, weakens safeguards, limits access to legal counsel, and lacks proper judicial oversight. These are not ordinary powers. They allow the state to compel answers under threat of penalty. That is a serious intrusion into personal liberty. Of course, national security matters—but it must never come at the unchecked expense of freedom. For these reasons, I will NOT be supporting this Bill.

The Combatting Antisemitism Hate and Extremism (Criminal and Migration) Bill or Hate Groups Bill will come before the Senate this afternoon. I OPPOSE the Bill and will vote against it in its entirety. The Bill if passed expands state powers in ways that will erode freedoms under the guise of protecting against “hate”. The big winners today will be the security state not everyday Australians who will soon be even less free than they once were.

👑The #KingsSpeech revealed plans to add yet more spying powers to the Snoopers' Charter. "The Government says it will give them the power to veto private tech companies' privacy and security features. Such powers would be more extreme than even the world's most despotic regimes. This would be yet another Bill that would exert extraordinary control to treat private companies as extensions of the state in order to conduct mass surveillance of millions of law-abiding citizens. It would be a major blow to the population's security." - Silkie Carlo, Director, Big Brother Watch

The Crime and Policing Bill is a dangerous Bill. The ‘cumulative disruption’ powers proposed in it should alarm anyone who cares about democracy.

New Australian laws are stripping away our freedoms. “Temporary” ASIO compulsory questioning powers are now being made permanent by scrapping the sunset clause. ASIO can force you in for questioning, no crime required. The Victorian government will be all over this, they got a real taste for control during COVID. Australians, wake up! 👇🏽
