- stephen_g 8y agoA big criticism of the bill by people like the Law Council (apart from it being irresponsibly rushed through with way too little oversight) was that it was intentionally vague and broad in a lot of it's definitions. So you have a lot of people saying it's incredibly bad, and a lot of others saying, "no, it's not quite that bad - only really, really bad" but nobody really knows until you get a notice. It's all up to how the law enforcement and intelligence services interpret it, and there's insufficient judicial oversight and almost no recourse if they are telling you to do something that you think goes beyond what the law allows, and you have to keep it secret, so it will be hard to tell how far they take it or if it's being abused.
- cotelletta 8y agoI understand the lawmakers decided the anti corruption bodies should not be granted any access to the powers it offers. Really, that says enough about how threatening they consider them to be, don't you think?
