Immigration Minister Alan Tudge told Sky News a bill was presented to the Parliament for a second time on the matter, after previously being blocked by the Labor Party and the Greens. “[The bill] would enable the Australian border force to have the discretion to search and seize mobile phones and drugs,” he said.
Mr Tudge highlighted another instance where officers were unable to seize the phone a detainee was using to contact the victim of a person he had previously abused. “We must have the power to be able to seize those mobile phones off those individuals where the health and safety of either community or other detainees is put at risk.” “It will be used in a discretionary bases, it will be used carefully.
hope the tap the phones of Australian males who go to Asian for sex trips and catch those guys too. I am sure you will have bigger stories.
immigration detention, data connection, unauthorised phone privacy intrusion..lol something missing from the real story.
The fact they got him should mean ABF really don't need any further powers
This really doesn't add up. If they didn't have the legal authority to remove his phone and examine its contents how did they have access to the contents of his phone.
They clearly had the enough power to find the images.. Its time to stop this increasing erosion of personal rights by what seems related to hidden motives from an increasingly tyrannical political class.
Que tal el malparido!!!!

The world seems to be moving toward 'another clash of major powers' | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Catherine McGregor says Australia is facing its most dangerous era in 75 years as it seems to be moving inexorably towards 'another clash of major powers.”\n\nThe past week has marked some gruesome anniversaries.\n\nOn 4 August 1914 the First World War began with Great Britain's declaration of war on Germany. \n\nOn 6 August 1945 the United States detonated an atomic bomb above Hiroshima. \n\nThe bombing of Nagasaki took place on this day of the same year. \n\nMs McGregor said the Great War was supposed to be the war to end all wars, however recent disruptions to the global order indicate the world is likely heading toward another clash of powers.\n\n“Last week, former prime minister Kevin Rudd - in an article for Foreign Affairs magazine - expressed the fear that we may be perilously close to a 'hot war' between the United States and China,” she said. \n\nMs McGregor said Prime Minister Scott Morrison was less alarmist in his address to the Aspen forum in the US. \n\n“Yet he warned that the rules-based order upon which prosperity and stability in this region depends is fraying at the edges,” she said. \n Far out can’t we have a break from all this depressing shit 😣😣😣 Seeing that the Chinese now have the Darwin Port, they will also have the Melbourne Port, when Dan Andrews sign's up to the Belt&Road with China, that's his game shutting down Victoria now,so he can use China to borrow Billions of dollars, claiming it's to save the state, wake up Sky are so keen on a war.

Scott Morrison says nation supports Lebanese Australians' push for systemic reform in BeirutPrime Minister Scott Morrison has downplayed Australia’s power to influence political and economic reform in Lebanon following the devastating explosion in Beirut that has reignited angry calls for systemic change. But if there was innovation he will convince everyone we should join Lebanese australians or foreigners let's be honest And yet his government seems to think it has carte blanche rights to comment on Chinese domestic policy and attempt to influence that country. It's almost like Scott Morrison is driven by ideology and that leads him to behave like a hypocrite every damn time he speaks.

I’m not a fan of Trump. But Biden is a puppet of China when he was VP. He agrees with China and not intend to make China accountable and eventually national security will be at risk. JoeBiden realDonaldTrump lol. What a moron realDonaldTrump Why he would keep standing against C after the election?
