PRESS RELEASE: Australians for Better Government Calls for Caution on ASIO Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2025
Australians for Better Government (ABG) urges the Senate to carefully scrutinise the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2025 before expanding the scope of ASIO and make compulsory questioning powers permanent.
With a Senate vote expected before the end of April, the time for meaningful safeguards is now.
ABG representative, Debra Yuille said, “ABG recognises that ASIO plays a vital role in protecting Australians from serious threats. However, extraordinary coercive powers must require exceptional justification, rigorous independent oversight, and periodic democratic renewal”.
