Excerpt:
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.
