Labor's ASIO Law To Snatch You Off The Street, No Warrant, No Lawyer ｜ CITIZENS REPORT 20 Aug 2026
54:47 · Aussie Fighter · 720p · 2026-08-22
A dark day for civil liberties and the rule of law. Today Parliament guillotined debate on the ASIO Bill No. 2 giving ASIO the power to detain Australians without a warrant, deny them a lawyer, interrogate them for a week without right to silence, and jail them for up to 5 years for refusing to talk or telling anyone it happened. Anthony Albanese once compared these powers to Nazi-era laws, now he's expanding them. Elisa Barwick and Robert Barwick break down: How the Labor-Coalition "uni-party" deal guillotined debate to just one hour What the ASIO Bill actually allows — and who it can target Albanese's own 2003 speech denouncing these very powers David Shoebridge's fiery Senate speech on the secret deal The AUKUS inquiry that exposed cross-party cover-ups (Gareth Evans, Malcolm Turnbull, Bob Carr, Christopher Pyne testify) David McBride's release from prison after blowing the whistle on Australian war crimes The ongoing injustice of Dan Duggan, still imprisoned without conviction Join the Citizens Party: https://citizensparty.org.au Subscribe to the Australian Alert publication for in-depth reporting the mainstream media won't touch.
