From Senator Alex Antic

The ‘Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2025’ has recently passed the House of Representatives, and soon it will come before the Senate.

I will be voting AGAINST the passage of this bill and the reason is simple: this bill threatens to limit the legal protections of Australians in their interactions with ASIO, while simultaneously reducing oversight of their extraordinary powers.

I do not use the word ‘extraordinary’ flippantly – the powers outlined in this bill are not ‘ordinary’ by the traditional standards of a liberal state. For instance, ASIO’s ‘compulsory questioning’ powers were only introduced on an explicitly temporary basis, with a sunset clause requiring parliamentary consideration before renewal every three years.

This new bill seeks to do away with that sunset clause, in effect baking in this power by turning it from ‘temporary’ to ‘permanent.’ To be clear, ASIO’s ‘compulsory questioning’ power allows them to compel individuals, including those not suspected of crimes, to appear for questioning and produce materials.

The removal of this sunset clause is just one of many concerns I have with this Bill, but I highlight it here because it is emblematic of the shift that has taken place in our thinking about freedom and security in Australia.

When compulsory questioning powers were introduced in 2003, the war on terror was forefront of mind. Over 100 Australians had been killed or seriously injured in recent terror attacks, such as 9/11 and the Bali Bombing.

Yet even despite this heated environment, these powers were only introduced on a temporary basis, for they would never have been accepted were they to be permanent upon introduction.

Parliament must not let its judgement be clouded or compromised and must ensure there are appropriate limits to government power.

We all love this country and want to see it protected, but to truly protect Australia we must also guard against internal changes that threaten to harm the way of life we hold so dear. This includes legislative changes that increase government powers at the expense of our freedom.

In a state where freedom is over-prioritised at the expense of security, the result is anarchy. In a state where security is over-prioritised at the expense of freedom, the result is totalitarianism and tyranny.

I will not put my name to an overreach of this nature, and neither should the Australian Parliament.

From the land of Australians

21 thought on “Senator Antic warns against Labor handing ASIO extraordinary powers”
  1. As patriotic Australians it is our duty and obligation to give our governments and agencies complete power and authority to screw all of us in someone’s foreign interests. We owe it to our and their financiers.

  2. What dangers have ASIO ever saved Australia from except the imaginations of themselves and politicians? What purpose has that organisation ever served for Australia? The real legislation to benefit Australia would be to do away with both ASIO and AFP. Each state has its own police to deal with crime, supposedly. Those with a brain know that both those organisations were a failure at Port Arthur, in fact I believe they were both criminally involved with the treasonous act.

    Neither of those organisations saved Australians from the Covid-19 scam and the “killer and injuring vaccine”. The death numbers during 2020 compared to 2019 should have awakened these corporations 6 months before the “vaccine” was put to use that Covid-19 never existed. Then those useless organisations could have really made a positive name for themselves by prosecuting the politicians and msm who were leading the charge in this infamous crime.

  3. If you look up this verse in G666gle, instead of the verse you first get programming to say it’s about Babylon. However it’s been written in future tense, this is maybe the most chilling verse in all the Revelations (18:23)
    “And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy pharmakeia were all nations deceived.”
    99% of sports fans still have no clue about Pharmakeia let alone Swissyland aka “Confederation Helvetika” where Vatika was the Etruscan goddess of the Underworld, on whose temple ground the Vatican was built. Our head of state KC3 was sold out to Swissyland by his mum as a result of Mountbatten’s failed attempt to get a better deal out of ww2 expenses, and loss of empire, occuring at the same time. Confederation means just that, historically Charlemagne operated there ( denied by modern websites ), the Venetians ran away there to get away from the Ottomans about 500 years ago ( these are some of the fake joos ), Nazi elites sent their gold there, mafias used Lugano in the south, Litchtenstein is still bolted on, never annexed by anyone, Geneva was bolted on with assistance from N’Apollyon, whose namesake had a temple there since ancient times, now they are doing “CERN” there for whatever black arts are involved, and the sports fans dream on.

  4. 007 said – “… The Australian Stazi have been exercising and abusing these powers against innocent Australians with impunity for years…”

    Indeed, IMPUNITY.

    Because they don’t work for us and they don’t answer to us, and they have their foreign-owned CORPORATE ARMIES of shit-for-brains Treasonous ARSEHOLES entrenched throughout EVERY Australian state and territory to beat us all down into the dirt and shoot us in the head if any of us start getting a bit too uppity.

    IMPUNITY, folks, like when that CRAVEN LOW-LIFE ARSEHOLE aka the Australian Federal Police Commissioner (NOT “police”, folks, they’re foreign-owned HIRED MERCENARY THUGS) deployed military Directed Energy Weapons to MICROWAVE two million unarmed inoffensive utterly defenceless completely clueless Australian men women children & babies, this festering piece of SHIT refused IN PUBLIC to admit to any wrongdoing unless first given FULL IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION.

    And the result? CRICKETS. No repercussions, no recriminations, no consequences, not even the slightest hint of remorse, nothing AT ALL.

    IMPUNITY, folks, that’s what we’re facing, and that’s the way it will STAY except it’s only gonna get worse and worse and WORSE until Mr. Rope and Mr. Lamp Post come riding into town.

    And it IS getting worse, folks, what do you think the headline article here is all about? It’s getting WORSE right under our noses and there’s not a DAMN THING any of us can do about it because they don’t work for us and they don’t answer to us and they grind us all down under their heels with UTTER IMPUNITY, because THEY call the shots and they have the ARMIES and all the GUNS to PROVE it.

    Nope, not a damn thing we can do about it. But Mr. Rope and Mr. Lamp post have the remedy, folks, they have the CURE to what ails us.

  5. This too!

    YOU’RE DOOMED DUMFUKS.
    Hahahaha!….It was those “evil Nazis” that cleaned up all the garbage in Germany, you’re being subjected to ever since your brainwashed and duped forefathers helped destroyed them.
    Yeah, those “evil Nazi”….
    And here’s “the good guys” that gave you what you have today on behalf of their JEWISH MASTERS:

    But you-all gotta keep bashing Saint Adolf and 1933-45 Germany…hahaha….what’s he got to do with today????????????
    THE JEWS RUN THE WORLD STUPID.
    You’re CLUELESS.

  7. The Australian Stazi have been exercising and abusing these powers against innocent Australians with impunity for years.
    They’re just trying to make their crimes legal. I don’t know why. They threw the law out the door during Covid and trampled all over our constitution that forbids such govt overreach, the human rights charter and several other laws and treaties. So clearly when they want to do something the law doesn’t matter at all.
    They’re now choosing force because all their lies have fallen apart and they’re scared. They’re scared of the Ozzy public that’s woken up and is very angry. That’s an anger that is expressed on their polling tanking in favour of their arch nemisis Pauline Hanson. That’s an anger that’s being expressed by the public booing at spectator events, the mad Muzzies chasing them out of their mosque, oh… and the death threats.
    Anyone would think that in an actually democracy these things would prompt them to change course.
    But it’s now clear that we don’t live in a democracy. We actually live in a totalitarian police state with the mere facade of democracy.
    It’s like putting lipstick on a pig.
    These parasites have eaten out our democracy from the inside.
    Now they see threats to their monopoly on power and they have circled the wagons have called the infantry to shoot down anyone and anything that they merely suspect of getting in their way.
    That’s what the “hate speech laws” are all about and this unleashing of their secret police.
    It’s just like Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
    While this govt is genuflecting and clutching their pearls over Neo Nazis their recent and continuing actions look at lot more like Nazis than the people they’re pointing the finger at.

  8. Commenter bob
    I don’t intend to brag about my local stuff, I prefer to keep a relatively low profile, you do your thing that’s fine, that’s your specialty, I don’t need you to try to direct me to imitate you. Several local councillors I talk to occasionally. You think councils are the “head of the snake”, you are way off the mark, more like the leg of the centipede hanging out of the snake’s mouth.

  9. David A, before that war began MI6 wanted war with Russia so if Edward had not abdicated he could have teamed up with Germany because they were in same Royal family and joined forces to eradicate communist Russia and return it to becoming Royal again

  10. Obvious Bob, you keep playing in THEIR sandpit…by their rules, their laws…’come out of her my people’ means to tunr completely away from that BEAST SYSTEM. All that law you talk about…is Talmudic..Satanic law…you can’t play in their sandpit and expect to win! You bulldoze their sandpit.

    You brag you do something? You play in their farking sandpit you idiot!

  11. Joe Bogan: I doubt that you have gone anywhere except in your own imagination.
    I doubt that you have ever written to your local members or councilors and nailed any of them with anything that might send them scurrying from the light. If you have, please ;et us know. And that goes for Hangman Pat too.

  12. @David said … “We fought in wars to prevent fascism … from destroying our country”. In 1945 General George Patton said “We may have been fighting the wrong enemy all along. But while we’re here (on the Soviet border), we should go after the bastards now, ’cause we’re gonna have to fight ’em eventually.” Patton later died in hospital following a suspicious car accident on December 21, 1945.

  13. Quite a few have bet the house on Mr Rope and Mrs Lamp-post coming to town but I am skeptical and I will wear whatever hair-shirts are put on me. The ALP always finds a way to pass rubbish bills, that’s why they rigged the election with their UnaParty partners who dare not breathe a puff of CO2 in case the planet boils. I have been chastised with joos, ropes, white-hats and even “the local council is head of the snake” and I will go my own way. Mrs Lamp-post has AI-CCTV surveillance cameras for ear-rings these says.

  14. Trial by Jury is the 3rd Box in Defence of Liberty because JURIES NULLIFY BAD LAWS! Thomas Jefferson said: “If people don’t know how to govern themselves, then educate them!”

  15. Joe Bogan 2 said – “… Why doesn’t ASIO catch the professional shooters who killed all those people at Port Arthur?”

    What, catch themselves?

    You Silly Billy…

  16. Why doesn’t ASIO catch the professional shooters who killed all those people at Port Arthur

  17. Albo & his cohorts attempting to sneak this past the Australia people while they are distracted by war and in particular the crippling effects.. petrol & general living crises.. no won der communism is stealthily creeping upon our wonderful nation… this Labor government is a blight upon us. We can only hope in God..!!

  18. Hey folks,
    .
    Hand full-retard STASI powers to ASIO? Give full authority for the congenitally retarded psychopathic ASIO Dr. Evil doppleganger to terrorise & persecute & bankrupt & prosecute & molest & torture & grind Australians down into the dirt under his big fat sadistic merciless Luciferian heel?
    .
    Sure, why the Hell not?
    .
    After all, we have a literal walking talking Pig’s Arse systematically dismantling and demolishing and destroying the country and flooding it with MILLIONS of Third World economic opportunistic immigrants, his mass-murdering predecessor molests little children down at the local Hillsong Kiddy Fiddling Franchise with his $52 MILLION Genocide Bonus stuffed down his designer red leather G-String and nary a care in the world, and the head of the Treasonous shit-for-brains hired mercenary thugs in Canberra gets to MICROWAVE millions of Australians with FULL IMMUNITY from prosecution or any possible consequences or repercussions EVER.
    .
    So why the Hell not? Why stop now?

  19. We fought in wars to prevent fascism and communism from destroying our country. Do we now have to fight the political parties, to prevent them destroying our country?

  20. What interactions with ASIO seeing we Australians are not allowed to interact with ASIO.
    Mike Burgess is out of reach to us common people .
