Stop the Search and Surveillance Bill

Despite widespread opposition the Search and Surveillance bill was reported back to Parliament and became law in April 2012. This Act abolishes two fundamental concepts of western law: the right to silence and the right not to incriminate oneself (the right not to participate on one's own prosecution). It also increases State powers to search and surveil. Follow our blog to keep updated about the Act... GET INVOLVED IN THE CAMPAIGN! Email us at StopTheBillNow@gmail.com for more info!

About Me

Stop the Search And Surveillance Bill
We were a group formed to stop the Search and Surveillance Bill, a Bill passed by parliament in early 2012. Parts of it associated with surveillance devices and declaratory orders became law in April 2012; all of it will be law by April 2014. It must be stopped.
