Pirate Party slams ‘unjust’ surveillance upgrade
news The Australian division of digital rights political movement the Pirate Party has slammed Federal Government plans to “unjustly” boost online surveillance powers by law enforcement agencies, describing the initiatives as “steps towards a police state”.
Last week, Attorney-General Nicola Roxon revealed a wide-reaching program to substantially reform its telecommunications interception and surveillance powers with the aim of bolstering the ability of law enforcement organisations to fight crime, including the introduction of a so-called “data retention” scheme that has attracted a great deal of controversy in Australia under the ‘OzLog’ banner.
