So the ASD won't "collect" information but they will help AFP "identify" people (by accessing their information) Hmmmmmmmm...
Seems @annikasmethurst story was RIGHT ALL ALONG, not that it was ever in doubt.

@annikasmethurst Smethurst story said there was a push for ASD to get domestic powers. Dutton/Home Affairs denials were always nonsense, claiming that as long as their wasn't a mass information gathering power on all Australians, only on criminal suspects, that somehow made the story wrong.
Of course we'll have to see what actually limits this to identifying people allegedly accessing/distributing child abuse material.
Because most of the powers in the encryption legislation apply to ALL crimes punishable with a sentence of 3+ years in prison.

Who needs facts? If you had the intuition that BLM protests would cause a spike in cases then there was a spike, QED.
If you hate multiculturalism, blame the Eid dinner.
The world is not an objective reality external to me, the world is only my perception of it, so I can create my own subjective reality with my spidey sense, filter bubble and hostile media.
Lets give the most powerful elective office in the world to a lunatic because it makes great TV. What could go wrong.

The #COVIDSafe app legislation has landed. It mainly creates offences for stuff govt said would be banned - eg the main offence of collection/use/disclosure by those not conducting contact tracing (pen: 5 years prison, 300 penalty units or both) #auspol #auslaw
There seems to be a very small amount of leeway if the collection is "permitted under an Australian law" - provided info is deleted immediately.
But elsewhere the legislation says it "cancels the effect of a provision of any Australian law" that would permit or require something banned in it.

#breaking Michaela Banerji has unanimously lost the High Court case against Comcare on freedom of political communication. Decision upholds decision to sack her and APS code of conduct restricting even private anonymous social media posts. #auspol #auslaw
The majority judgment of Kiefel, Bell Keane and Nettle is based on fact implied freedom doesn't give personal rights, and notes that code of conduct applies to ALL social media posts due to risk of de-anonymisation.
Although majority leaves door ajar for implied freedom to restrict some executive decisions/discretions
