Australian Police Given Covert Search and Hacking Powers

An anonymous reader writes "The NSW government of Australia has quietly introduced new police powers for covert home searches and covert hacking of computers. The suspect may not be notified of the covert activity for up to three years. These new powers are similar to those given to the UK police earlier this year. The new warrants can only be issued in the Supreme Court for suspected serious offences punishable by at least seven years jail — which includes computer crime offences."

He orders a beer. Bartender brings it over, "That'll be ten dollars... Hey, you know we never got any talking kangaroos in here before." Kangaroo replies, "And at these prices you won't see any more of 'em."
