Right To Tap Into Change
Data In Private Computers!

Parliament has passed laws that allow the Australian Security Intelligence
Organisation (ASIO) to tap into and alter data on private computer systems.
The ASIO Amendment Bill 1999 passed the Senate yesterday, giving federal
authorities the power to tap into private computer systems for surveillance
purposes. This is the first time in 13 years a major change has been made to
the ASIO Act 1979. While the legislation gained bipartisan support, some
members expressed concern that bill was rushed through Parliament. Senator
Bolkus noted yesterday that the Senate had waited four or five months to
debate the bill. "We could have spent more time in the analysis period," he
said in Parliament. Labor has also expressed concern that the law allows
ASIO to add, delete or alter data on remote computers. An amendment has
subsequently been made that says data can only be altered if it is
"necessary" to obtain access to data. The change hasn't appeased the
Democrats, who claim that the new law is a serious breach of Australians'
privacy. Deputy leader Senator Natasha Stott Despoja said that the laws could
be intentionally misused to plant evidence. "The government has found quite a
convenient excuse for significant new excursions into personal surveillance,"
she said. Privacy groups are angry that the bill gives ASIO the power to
tap into private computer systems. Consumer group Financial Services Consumer
Policy Centre has previously called on the Senate to reject the bill,
claiming it contains "serious flaws".
