ONLY FRAN: The ASIO laws that just passed the Senate
About this episode
The episode discusses the recent Senate bill that grants ASIO extended powers, raising concerns about civil liberties and its implications for protests related to Palestine.
This week a bill passed the Senate that will give ASIO extended powers on top of its already very extended powers. Not only can an innocent person be hauled in for questioning, held for 24-hours, potentially without a lawyer but they can’t tell anyone about it. Now, ASIO will be given added powers on what it can question you on and Jan Fran has a feeling it’s got to do with Palestine protests. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
