Government surveillance is turning out to be a great interference into privacy not only of non-citizens, but also of citizens. The primary argument is the basic legal standard, which should be applied on the two specific cohorts (i.e. citizens and non-citizens), to rationalize the major state duties and rights of residents.
This reflective essay discusses successively diverse, significant factors that create an understanding of the policies and regulations concerning the national surveillance policy of Australia.
The subject would be explained through description and core analysis of; government responsibilities in the light of liberty, protection and trust to shape policies; identification of privacy as a fundamental human right; use of technology as a tool for surveillance; surveillance of citizens as potential suspects; surveillance of non citizens in threat of shipped terrorism; and future aspects of changing levels of monitoring. Finally, in the conclusion, the laid arguments and examples would lead the subject to identify the basic legal standards, which should be applied to government’s surveillance of their citizens and their non-citizens.
