ASIO’s New Powers Could Put You in Jail for Staying Silent | Ep 264

from The Dr Jo Show Hosted by Dr Joanna Howe

Rally info: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/nswrallyforlifeseptember2026 Labor and the Liberals have just pushed through extraordinary new ASIO powers, and Australians deserve to know exactly what happened. In this episode, I expose how the legislation passed the Senate, why most Liberal senators were nowhere to be seen when the vote was recorded, and what these expanded questioning powers mean for freedoms. I break down the threat of compulsory questioning, secrecy offences, the lack of a normal right to silence, and the dangerously vague concept of “promotion of communal violence.” Alex Antic and Andrew McLachlan stood against it. The rest of the Liberal Party must answer for this. 📲 Follow for Updates: 📸 Instagram, TikTok & Facebook: @drjoannahowe 🐦 X/Twitter: @ProfJoannaHowe 🎙️ Podcast available on all platforms: https://thedrjoshow.transistor.fm/ 📩 Join my weekly e-newsletter: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/join 🙏 Help raise awareness of Australia’s extreme abortion laws by donating here: https://www.drjoannahowe.com.au/donate
