The SLAID Act amended the Surveillance Devices Act 2004 (SD Act) and Crimes Act 1914 (Crimes Act) and associated legislation to introduce three new warrants for the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC). These warrants allow AFP and ACIC to disrupt serious crime online, identify offenders through intelligence gathering and to takeover online accounts to gather evidence. The INSLM is required to review these provisions in accordance with s 6(1E) of the INSLM Act.
