Wait, he was a cop? Don't you have to swear to the follow the law when you become a cop, therefore invalidating his "sovereign citizen" bullshit?


Old Sir Joh would run Fred Hallows out of QLD because Fred would go to Aboriginal communities and fix their sight, which Joh would fear the Aborigines would then vote against him.

Sorry, this doesn't surprise me in the slightest. You could drop in any other group Joh hated and it would be the same. If you were downtrodden or progressive he'd have happily shot you himself. He really really hated land rights because they interfered with his mining mates desire to strip-mine half the state.

Hi iajanus

Thanks for your email outlining your concerns about the Assistance and Access Bill.

I appreciate your views but I respectfully disagree with your assessment of the Bill. The increasing use of encryption to conceal communications has significantly degraded law enforcement and intelligence agencies' ability to collect intelligence, conduct investigations and detect intrusions into Australian networks.

Put simply, Encryption has significantly degraded law enforcement and intelligence agencies' ability to lawfully collect intelligence and conduct investigations.

95% of ASIO's most dangerous counter-terrorism targets actively use encrypted messages to conceal their communications. Over 90% of data being lawfully intercepted by the AFP now use some form of encryption.

The AFP Reports that the July 2017 plans to blow up an Etihad flight from Sydney to Abu Dhabi remained undetected for over four months due to the use of encrypted messaging application Telegram.

The Assistance and Access Bill is a necessary and proportionate response to these challenges. The Bill establishes a framework for agencies to seek assistance from relevant industry stakeholders in support of law enforcement and national security investigations and operations. It does not expand the surveillance powers of agencies.

The reforms ensure agencies can obtain legitimate and necessary assistance from communications providers when it is reasonable, proportionate, practicable and technically feasible to do so. Agencies will be empowered to seek assistance from offshore providers supplying communications services and devices in Australia.

I hope this puts at ease some of your data security concerns, a name that is definitely not mine. Thanks again for writing to me. If there's anything I can assist you with in the future, please get in touch.

Cheers
Ross

Thanks for your email outlining your concerns about the Assistance and Access Bill.

I appreciate your views but I respectfully disagree with your assessment of the Bill. The increasing use of whispering to conceal communications has significantly degraded law enforcement and intelligence agencies' ability to collect intelligence, conduct investigations and detect intrusions into Australian conversations.

The AFP Reports that the July 2017 plans to blow up an Etihad flight from Sydney to Abu Dhabi remained undetected for over four months due to the use of whispered conversations in public areas.

The Assistance and Access Bill is a necessary and proportionate response to these challenges. The Bill establishes a framework for agencies to force everyone to wear a microphone at all times. It does not expand the surveillance powers of agencies.

The reforms ensure agencies can obtain legitimate and necessary assistance from communications providers when it is reasonable, proportionate, practicable and technically feasible to do so. Agencies will be empowered to seek assistance from offshore providers supplying communications services and devices in Australia.

quote:

The New South Wales Coalition Government has labelled its federal colleagues as "out of touch" on energy and climate policies.

Ahead of a Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting of state and federal energy ministers in Adelaide today, the state's Energy Minister Don Harwin said he would be pushing for rules to force power companies to reduce their carbon emissions, a move he labelled a "circuit-breaker".
"Today we're putting emissions reduction back on the table where it should be," Mr Harwin said outside the meeting.
"I'm going to argue for work to start on the drafting of an emissions obligation to complement the reliability obligation that we're working on today.

...

Ahead of the COAG meeting, Federal Energy Minister Angus Taylor brushed aside the criticisms from his New South Wales Liberal counterpart.
"We are very, very focused on keeping prices down while we keep the lights on. We're confident that we can do that," Mr Taylor said.
"This COAG meeting is important in making sure we keep reliability in our electricity market."
The response was more strident from Federal Resources Minister Matt Canavan, who is also attending the COAG meeting.
"I'm not focused on what will happen in 2050, I'm focused on what will happen here and now," the Queensland senator said.
"I certainly don't intend on being in the Parliament in 2050.
"There are enough problems today, let's focus on those."
The federal Liberals are keen to lose NSW's election I guess

Apra are targetting individual ADI and have massively ramped up lending standards, so dont think this will immediately go crazy again, loan assessment for interest only loans has to be on P&I basis for the full term rather than IO for a period like it used to.

Assessors always assess on the relative life of the P&I - ie, if you do 25/5 split, the assessor is supposed to assess on 25 principle loan term, not 30

Doesn't always happen, but then that's what credit governance is supposed to pick up and correct.

There are/were a few cowboys going around playing pretty fast and loose with the rules... smaller ADIs and regional banks and particularly loans sourced by brokers. There's alot more rigor on use of mitigating factors now, which hasn't always been the case.
