In comments likely to provoke criticism from some civil and digital rights campaigners, Asio director general Mike Burgess will use a major speech on Wednesday to argue “privacy is important but not absolute,” while AFP commissioner Reece Kershaw believes “there is no absolute right to privacy.”
Whenever ASIO wants more power or money, it crafts an unfalsifiable tale about phantom nazis.
Burgess claims back door to Big Tech platforms is needed to police…
…dangerous whites.
See the Guardian report.
1. Nazis ✔️
2. Claims of a current ‘threat’ requiring new powers to stmyie ✔️
3. Won’t somebody think of the children ✔️
Note that the Guardian says the only opponents of policemen being granted full access to your mail – and Chinese-style co-control of private tech companies – are “some” campaigners.
ASIO boss says privacy ‘not absolute’ – urges social media companies to do more on extremism.
So, Bunyip Burgess Beria is perfectly okay when one extremist group ‘lets off steam’ but is not okay when other extremist groups do it?
We now officially live in a two-tier society. Scream ‘kill the Jews’, scream “gas the Jews”, scream “where’s the Jews’, organise convoys of Muslim and leftist haters through Jewish suburbs, hold weekly rallies where Muslims and leftists screech genocide of Jews, Burgess Beria is okay with that, in fact he said, with a smirk on his face, that he thinks such rampant Jew hatred is just ‘letting off steam’, but God forbid if you catch a suburban train to North Sydney on Australia Day, having broken no laws, then you’ll have NSWaffen Police swoop down on you. Ahhh, but of course, those travellers on that suburban train were ‘far-right’.
Further to ‘privacy’, I note the privacy of the leftist and Muslim attendees on Monday night, 9 October 2023, has been ‘absolutely’ respected by the NSW and federal governments, NSWaffen Police and our various security organisations.
Oh and two of the attendees that infamous late afternoon and night in October 2023 were….
1. a Plibersek staffer; and
2. the son of a NSW Labor minister.
AFP commissioner Reece Kershaw believes “there is no absolute right to privacy.”
Well, yes…this is why police need a warrant to enter & search your premises, based on a reasonable suspicion grounded in fact, evidence of which is presented before a magistrate and sworn to under oath.
Is there a problem, Mr. Kershaw?
By my reckoning, Burgo has been outsmarted by the Garage Nazis at every turn for at least five years.

This guy is hilarious at this point. Big dumb goof.
They always frame opposition to their about-to-implement power grabs as “absolute” I’m absolutism. I.e you’re just being unreasonable each of the 1000 times they move their flag further and further forward into your life and home.
Free speech is the most important right Americans have that’s under attack both internationally and domestically. Trump or someone in the Republican Party needs to speak out and explain clearly to Australia that making threats against America’s most important right is not what close allies do and if they continue perhaps they should ally more closely with China and see how it works for them.
Elon Musk comments on Australia
What is sad, is that The Guardian was the first (now second) most downloaded news app in Australia.
I just watched the video of the attack on the Maronite Bishop. Like millions of others, I wouldn’t have bothered without the attempt to censor it.
What a load of fuss about nothing. There is no blood and no visible knife. A man jumps out and hits a few times at the bishop and immediately a crowd of parishioners race in to stop him. A good example of what to do if someone is being attacked. The attacker is clearly in the wrong. His words tell us why he is making this outrage. Nothing to scare children or encourage copycats with here. A salutary lesson for copycats in fact. Nobody will like you, you will be stopped, and nobody will think you were great. Plenty will think you are a deranged idiot.
where’s the staunch classical liberals – Tony Abbott and John Howard?
Great point. This is an attack on US companies and their constitutionally protected rights.
As for there being a threat from ‘garage Nazis’ in Australia, what a load of hogwash. We all know where the real threat is coming from and note the refusal of the police to do anything about it.
Elon Musk is right in saying he is defending the right of Australians to free speech.
Plenty on the centre-right and even centre-left of Australian politics oppose the draconian measures currently being suggested. When the call for comments on the proposed ‘misinformation and disinformation’ bill came out it was widely opposed.
Indeed, thousands of people were sufficiently concerned to write comments saying why this bill should be opposed. I was one of them. The range of commentary was never analysed nor published.
But those who opposed, and vociferously still do in print and other media, and those who voiced outrage in writing, are simply ‘some’ people.
And we don’t count, Mr. Dutton????

Beria was a Jew. Funny old world, hey?
Beria was Georgian Orthodox.
My apologies, CL. I confused him with an earlier NKVD head, Genrikh Yagoda, who oversaw the Great Purge.
I actually avoid downloading news apps. A website is good enough, and ad blockers work.
Hahahahahaha! How’s the ego on this pathetic blowhard!
Useless.
Later on in that show,[which has no sound] Phil Coorey voiced the opinion that the Higgins Scandal ‘destroyed Morrison’ and ‘devastated’ the Government.
We have no absolute right to privacy, says Kershaw. Now where have I heard something like that recently? From the Australian Law Reform Commission (which should be Deform, not Reform). In their review of religious freedom, they reassured us that we all have the right e think whatever we like inside our heads (though I have read that our prospective Chinese Communist Party overlords are trying to do something about that also). But, according to Mr Justice Rothman (former ALP electoral aspirant), we have absolutely not the slightest right whatsoever to make any public manifestation of it by word or deed unless our wokerati ruling class graciously condescend to confer it on us.
Needless to say, these strictures will apply only to Kews and Christians.
I’m surprised that the judge (learned in the law, no doubt) seems unaware that the High Court has found an implied right to freedom of speech on political matters in the Constitution.
And thus it must be suppressed because it shows people taking care of the attacker without the assistance of police. It’s the autonomy that is unacceptable.
BJ, I have full confidence in the ability of the High Court to discover a new implied right to abolish any earlier implied right.

LOL.
