Australian Signals Directorate's Rare Public Appearance

At Australian government owned ABC News, September 1, 2020:

"Australian Signals Directorate boss Rachel Noble [longer bio] says not all Australians are the good guys, defends spying"

see https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-09-01/asd-boss-rachel-noble-will-defend-right-to-spy-on-australians/12614834

Watched for decades. There has been a system of secondment between a nation's foreign and domestic agency people to form cross-jurisdictional teams - but this is untidy.

No problems with new Australian Signals Directorate powers - or NSA powers for that matter.

High-tech surveillance/police state rising. All to protect Western Liberal Democracy (tm) of course...

Hi ZeroZero

Google, Twitter and Amazon have a lot more personal details on millions of Australians.

But as their Billionaire corporate bosses/owners wear T-shirts on stage I don't see anyone accusing such massive US multinational companies of being "Police States for Profit".

Sould Amazon Inc keep its database with financial details on millions of Australians?
