Australian spies will soon have the power to monitor the entire Australian internet with just one warrant, and journalists and whistleblowers will face up to 10 years' jail for disclosing classified information. Anyone - including journalists, whistleblowers and bloggers - who "recklessly" discloses "information ... [that] relates to a special intelligence operation" faces up to 10 years' jail. This also gives ASIO immunity for criminal and civil liability in certain circumstances. Any operation can be declared "special" by an authorised ASIO officer
