From Electronic Frontiers Australia: Proposed changes to the Telecommunications Interception Act (C'th) would give government agencies (not only police forces) powers to intercept and read email, voice mail and SMS messages, without an interception warrant (as is presently required). Furthermore, agencies that are not allowed to obtain and use interception warrants (like the Taxation Office, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, the Immigration Department, etc.) would gain the power to intercept and read private communications. Communications made using new technologies would have less privacy protection than a telephone call. For more information about the Bill, see the Background section below.
