The Albanese government's new surveillance legislation aims to block legal challenges against Operation Ironside by affirming the lawfulness of evidence obtained through specific police warrants.
Attorney General Mark Dreyfus introduced the Surveillance legislation to address legal concerns stemming from Operation Ironside, asserting that evidence collected under designated warrants is valid and lawful.
Despite the Australian Federal Police's success in Operation Ironside—arresting 800 organized crime figures—ongoing questions about the legality of the evidence obtained through the An0m app have emerged.
The proposed law clarifies that information obtained from the AFP through ten explicit warrants is not subject to interception challenges, aiming to consolidate the legitimacy of the evidence collected.
