Victoria unveils anti-terrorism laws
The Victorian government has unveiled its new anti-terrorism bill. The proposal would allow for secret search warrants, amongst other things.
ANTI-terror laws introduced in the Victorian Parliament would give covert search powers to police and allow them to quarantine victims of a chemical, biological or nuclear attack. The laws, announced during last November's Victorian election campaign, are the first of their type in Australia. [...] Covert search warrants would be available to police with the approval of the chief commissioner of police and a judge or magistrate. - AAP, Anti-terror Bill introduced.
