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...

ReplyDeleteGoogle, 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?

Oh I forgot Facebook...
