| Impact statement: This article examines whether Australia’s telecommunications interception regime remained effective after legislative reform, especially in the context of national security and counter-terrorism. It is useful because it analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act framework and proposes further reforms, balancing investigative necessity against privacy and civil-liberty concerns. | Collaboration: Other | Keywords: telecommunication interception, surveillance law, Australia, privacy, national security, telecommunications law, criminal justi |
