Interesting. I’m not from Australia but I thought the concept of an Administrative Appeals Tribunal interesting. It seems like a way to offload work from the main court system. According to Wikipedia it also does seem to have oversight by the Federal Court of Australia. [1] While I agree that this seems like a massive overstep. The actual body seems similar to the FISA court in the US. There wasn’t any detail in the…

This is worse than FISA. Once again, in a 5 eye country the china like surveillance infrastructure has been rubber stamped.

Well, just added Australia to the list of places I'm never going.

> The two Australian law enforcement bodies AFP and ACIC will soon have the power to modify, add, copy, or delete your data should you become a suspect in the investigation of a serious crime.

How would one prove the bodies didnt add/modify incriminating items? in the US that would be nigh impossible to argue against as the system implicitly trusts police testimony over accused

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Wouldn’t a brain drain lead to even dumber laws?

Not the problem anymore for the brains that fled.

Kinda weird for the attitude toward governments allegedly violating freedom to be “it’s okay as long as it doesn’t affect me.”

I don't know where this is going. Perhaps prepping for the global warming riots. Is there a way out of surveillance?

Vote. Or be more active in politics.

Voting is already mandatory in Australia.

Is there anywhere where you aren’t being watched now?

If the police have a warrant to watch you, then, no. But that is as it should be. As long as there is correct judicial oversight of these capabilities, then this is the correct way for things to be. Nobody should have an expectation of being able to conduct criminal business without surveillance. The issue comes in when the justice system is not providing correct oversight for this capability. That is wrong and shoul…

Would this philosophy extend to phones then, too? Assuming a phone is being used for criminal business. A Ring camera, assuming the house is being used for criminal conduct?

I’m playing devil’s advocate, and am interested in a stance arrived at reasonably.

> Is there a way out of surveillance? Vote with your feet. Divest out of Australia. Make sure there's a brain drain out of the country.

Time to sell AAAU etf, you can't trust a bank if the gov't is corrupt.
