The meta data happened long ago and was pushed through with the most flimsy of pretence. I remember it was after the shooting in Sydney by an Iranian refugee who had not only just been in custody but had arrive under the pretence that he was an Iranian spy seeking asylum. They had every reason to surveil the guy under normal laws but used it as an excuse to justify a drag net approach. It was obviously an Orwellian trick but no one cared. Freedom should not be so whimsically thrown away, getting it back will be impossible through normal means.
