Para 1 & 2

>The Australian federal police have raided the home of News Corp Australia journalist Annika Smethurst investigating the publication of a leaked plan to allow government spying on Australians.

 

>On Tuesday police executed a warrant investigating the “alleged publishing of information classified as an official secret” which they said had the potential to undermine Australia’s national security.

 

Last 3 Para

>Australia also has offences which make it unlawful for non-commonwealth officers to communicate or deal with information that has a security classification of secret or top secret or “damages the security or defence of Australia”.

 

Journalists have a defence of dealing with protected information where they “reasonably believe” it is in the public interest to do so, but the media union has warned the law still effectively criminalises journalism.

 

Police have conducted raids investigating leaks about the national broadband network, Peter Dutton’s ministerial intervention in the case of two foreign au pairs, and foreign targets of Australia’s spying.

Senate Bill 774 "The Physical Privacy and Safety Act"

In 2017, Collins-Smith introduced Senate Bill 774, the Arkansas Physical Privacy and Safety Act which would limit transgender individuals in the use of government facilities that correspond to the sex on their birth certificates.[7] In a press release, Collins-Smith said the proposed bill protects the privacy, dignity, and well-being of all Arkansans: "No child should have to worry that their school might change its policy to force them to shower or undress in front of a member of the opposite sex as has been the case around the country," she said.

 

She said that the bills set a baseline for privacy across the state and would shield public schools from lawsuits by organizations "seeking to impose their anti-privacy agenda on our children."[8]

 

Governor Asa Hutchinson has stated his opposition to a "bathroom bill" law in Arkansas.[9] A similar law in North Carolina garnered nationwide protests and boycotts that cost the state $650 million dollars in the first six months of implementation.[10]

 

Arguments in favor of "bathroom bills" cite the general public's safety from sexual predators as a motivation for the legislation.[11] Critics of the legislation cite the lack of evidence that transgender or gender non-conforming individuals are more likely to commit sexual assault.[12] In stark contrast, a study of 2,325 transgender college graduates who responded to the National Transgender Discrimination Survey in 2009 demonstrates that discriminatory law has a profoundly negative effect on the mental health of transgender people. A quarter had been denied access to bathrooms in some way or another. Their suicide-attempt rate was also much higher than that of the general U.S. population —47 percent, compared to about 4 percent for all Americans. Those who had been denied access to bathrooms were 45 percent more likely to have tried to kill themselves, even when controlling for other types of victimization.[13]
