Australian Federal Police raid News Corp journalist Annika Smethurst's home over alleged national security leak

"According to The Daily Telegraph, the raid related to a story published in April last year in which Annika Smethurst reported that the Home Affairs and Defence departments were considering giving spy agencies greater surveillance powers."

"The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) collects and assesses foreign intelligence information before passing it on to Australia's domestic and foreign spy agencies.

The ASD does not collect information on Australian citizens, but some senior public servants want to change that.

The story alleged new powers, if adopted, would go to the ASD to secretly access bank records, emails and text messages without leaving a trace."
