With all eyes on the pandemic, you might not have noticed that last month our Federal Government passed new laws that mean if you are suspected of a crime, police and other agencies can now hack your smartphone without you even knowing about it.
The Surveillance Legislation Amendment (Identify and Disrupt) Bill 2021 is intended to help combat the growing problem of online criminal activity which sounds like a good thing, but not everyone is convinced the new powers will only be used to target criminals.
