Question on notice: What similar powers do other Five Eyes states have to those proposed in the SLAID Bill?

Given the diversity of legislative mechanisms, law enforcement and intelligence functions across the Five Eyes, it is difficult to make direct comparisons with the measures proposed in the SLAID Bill.

However, it is important to note that our allies also recognise the threats posed by the dark web and anonymising technologies and the distinct and unique challenges they present for law enforcement.
Hence, steps have been taken by several Five Eyes’ states – namely the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada – to counter the proliferation of crime committed on the dark web and via anonymising technologies.

Below the CSCRC sets out three examples of similar capabilities in these states.

The United States The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) is the United States’ federal law enforcement agency, responsible for domestic intelligence and security.
The United States’ warrant framework provides significant flexibility in the application of warrants as they pertain to the commission of online crime, enabled via Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

This includes via search and seizure warrants, which may be used to access (including remotely) and search electronic devices.
United Kingdom In the United Kingdom, the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 (the Act) is the principal legislation that governs the use of electronic surveillance powers by law enforcement, security and intelligence agencies.

The Act includes legislative mechanisms for agencies to access and interfere with electronic devices to obtain data.

The Act also enables the utilisation of bulk interception, communications data and equipment interference powers.
The Act has served in practice to identify threats and assist in the application of targeted powers to address these threats.

Canada Canadian law enforcement agencies can use general warrants under the Criminal Code 1985 to respond to cyber-enabled crime to enable activities not covered by other warrants.

General warrants provide the mechanisms for investigative techniques, such as account takeover.

Furthermore, general warrants are focused on obtaining information relevant to criminal investigations.

Dear Staff/ Members This is just a extremely brief submission to the Senate enquiry into Australia's Extinction Crisis which is nothing short of disgraceful.

In a rich, educated country like Australia, to have so many fellow creatures facing extinction is unforgivable.

We need, as a matter of urgency, to adequately fund organisations such as the CSIRO to enable them to address the plight of our threatened animals, birds and flora.
Whilst some of the threats are seemingly insurmountable ( confronting cats and foxes for example ) there are previous examples where the Federal Government has taken the lead and sought novel ways of confronting an issue.

For example, the Govt could take out ads in foreign newspapers seeking a solution to the eradication of cats and foxes in the same way it sought solutions to confront rabbits in the early part of last century.
Whilst the threats to out fauna and flora are many ( and in some cases mixed ) we need to accept that their welfare is in our own interests - even if most people can't see the connection.

Human beings, whilst we like to think of ourselves as omnipotent and invulnerable, occupy the apex of the pyramid of life BECAUSE of all the creatures below us.

Without them we are nothing.

Without confronting the extinction crisis, we are putting human survival at risk as well.

All things are connected!
Most of our wildlife is endangered because of the following threats ( almost all of our threatened birds are in danger because of cats; ground nesting birds are doubly vulnerable because of cats AND foxes ); I urge this enquiry to acknowledge the following threats and urge you recommend the Govts confront the issue as a matter of urgency: Cats Foxes Cane Toads Feral Goats Pigs Camels and Water Buffalo We need to confront the plight of our endangered species as a matter of urgency and to fund the agencies capable of dealing with the threats.
We need a watertight EPBC Act which can't be tampered with ( or circumvented by such arrangements as the Regional Forest Agreement which enabled the authorities in Tasmania to conveniently ignore endangered species ).

This is a crucial issue and it needs leadership.

xiii Recommendations Recommendation 1 The Committee recommends that, with a view to ensuring the country’s future arrangements between intelligence assessments, threat assessments and travel advisories are optimal, consideration should be given to the establishment of an independent commission of inquiry with specific terms of reference to address these and related matters.
Recommendation 2 The Committee recommends that the government, in consultation with the travel industry further develop and oversee a code of practice which would, among other things, make it mandatory for travel agents/advisers to provide to overseas travellers, at the time a booking is made, a copy of both DFAT’s Travel Advice for the destination concerned and ASIO’s threat assessment for the country itself.

Travellers must be advised to consult the DFAT Travel Advice 24 hours prior to their departure.
Recommendation 3 The Committee recommends that DFAT subject a representative selection of its Travel Advice to examination by an independent assessor with qualifications and experience in linguistics, literacy and communication.

The assessor shall report to the minister on the intelligibility and accessibility of the language in which information is conveyed in travel advisories.
Recommendation 4 The Committee recommends that • • the Commonwealth government prepare a green paper on the establishment of a national compensation scheme for victims of terrorism related crimes that fall within the Commonwealth jurisdiction; and the national council of AttorneysGeneral develop a proposal for the harmonisation of state laws dealing with compensation for victims of crimes so as to provide for circumstances such as terrorist attack.

Appendix 3 WHAT OUR INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES DO (The following draws on material from the agencies' official web sites) The Office of National Assessments (ONA) produces reports on international political, strategic and economic matters in order to assist the Prime Minister, Ministers and Departments in the formation of policy and plans.

ONA bases its assessments on information available to the Australian Government from all sources, whether inside or outside the Government.
It draws on information from intelligence, as well as diplomatic reporting and open source material including news media and other publications.

ONA also advises the Government on the adequacy and coordination of Australia's foreign intelligence activities and maintains close consultation with the intelligence agencies of other countries.
The Defence Intelligence Organisation (DIO) provides all–source intelligence assessment at the national level to support Defence and Government decision-making and the planning and conduct of Australian Defence Force operations.

DIO's assessments focus on the Asia- pacific region and cover strategic, political, defence, military, economic, scientific and technical areas.

The Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) is Australia's national authority for signals intelligence and information security.
DSD has two principal functions: one is to collect and disseminate foreign signals intelligence (known as Sigint); the other is to provide Information Security (Infosec) products and services to the Australian Government and its Defence Force.

The Defence Imagery and Geospatial Organisation (DIGO) provides geospatial intelligence, from imagery and other sources in support of Australia's defence and national interests.
DIGO defines geospatial intelligence as the collection, exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information to locate, describe, assess and visualise physical features, observable phenomena and geographically referenced activities over time and space.

The Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) is Australia's overseas intelligence collection agency.
Its primary function is to obtain and distribute intelligence information, not readily available by other means, about the capabilities, intentions and activities of individuals or organisations outside Australia, which may impact on Australian interests, and the well–being of its citizens.

The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO).
ASIO's main role is to gather information and produce intelligence that will enable it to warn the government about activities or situations that might endanger Australia's national security.

The ASIO Act defines 'security' as the protection of Australia and its people from espionage, sabotage, politically motivated violence, the promotion of communal viole nce, attacks on Australia's defence system, and acts of foreign interference.

SUPPORT REFERENCE FOR THE 'BRAKE' DRIVER AWARENESS PROGRAM.

I have known the authors and managers of the BRAKE program, Rob and Belinda Duncan for over 20 years.

I have the highest regard for their commitment, competence, ability and integrity in respect of the delivery of that program.

As the former Commissioner of the Queensland Police Service I was strongly supportive of the BRAKE program.

My support for it remains today.


I believe the value, cost benefits and credibility of the program is well established.

The benefits in terms of the personal safety of young drivers, other road users together with the economic benefits far outweigh the costs of the program.

I am able to be contacted to discuss this letter of support if desired and authorise the publication of this letter of support if the Committee so desires.

Robert (Bob) Atkinson AO APM.

Parliamentary Inquiry into Sleep Health Awareness As a sufferer of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea I was very pleased to learn of the Parliamentary Inquiry into Sleep Health Awareness.

The issue of snoring is often the subject of great frivolity and embarrassment to the sufferer, and there is a concept that only overweight men suffer from Sleep Apnoea.

I myself am a fit 65 year old, who is not overweight and had the good fortune to have been diagnosed and treated for severe Sleep Apnoea.
I believe that a health awareness campaign is very important to raise the profile of sleep and the consequences of disorders and encourage those people who do have a problem with snoring to seek medical advice to ascertain the cause and severity of their particular problem, without any embarrassment.
I also believe that GPs and primary care providers, such as practice nurses, should be more aware of the prevalence of sleep disorders, and educated to look for symptoms in those patients, who do not fit into the expected criteria.

I thank you for your time in considering this submission Inquiry into Sleep Health Awareness in AustraliaSubmission 56

Submission for Inquiry: The Sleep Health Awareness in Australia My name is Laura Thompson and I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy type 1 in February 2017 at the age of 21.

Narcolepsy has greatly impacted my life and I hope that an inquiry into Sleep Health Awareness; particularly into the rare topic of Narcolepsy, will be beneficial for many Australians.

Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological condition that effects approximately 0.05% of the population.
This condition is the inability for the brain to regulate the sleep-wake cycle.

The cause of Narcolepsy is unknown and the average delay for diagnosis is between 8-15 years.

There is no cure for Narcolepsy and in Australia our treatment options are limited.

I currently take the maximum dose of stimulant Armodofinil each day, which is used mask one of the most common symptom of Narcolepsy excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS).
I also take 45mg of Venlafaxine (Efexor) daily to target the symptom of Cataplexy.

Cataplexy attacks are triggered by strong emotions (in my case laughter, anticipation and pride), so the antidepressant is intended to level the emotions to prevent this.

Although these medications allow me to keep a job and function as a somewhat normal person, Narcolepsy limits me in many ways.

These medications are only masks that hide symptoms and become less effective over time.
Sodium Oxybate is a medication that is used in other parts of the world to treat Narcolepsy, however in Australia this is not covered under PBS and extremely expensive.

The education for doctors in Australia on Narcolepsy is also extremely limited.

Many General Practitioners and nurses I have seen in the last few years have looked at me blankly when I advise them of my condition.
It concerns me that GPs do not know what Narcolepsy is when you provide them with your diagnosis much less identify the problem when someone describes their symptoms.

A sleep specialist is seen to receive a diagnosis for Narcolepsy, however in many other parts of the world it is a Neurologist that is seen.

Most sleep specialists in Australia are respiratory focused and do not have the education on the condition of Narcolepsy.
As they are not exposed to many patients with this condition they lack the experience in providing treatment options and support pathways.

Support is another huge aspect of Narcolepsy, there is little to no awareness of the condition and people suffering resort to online forums.

The mental health and quality of life for those with Narcolepsy is severely impacted and we often feel extremely isolated.

We are often reluctant to tell other about our condition due to the lack of awareness and understanding.
It is easier to remain silent than explain how it is nothing like the scenes in Deuce Bigalow.

This inquiry is greatly appreciated by those of us affected by Sleep Health Awareness in Australia.
