Australia's domestic intelligence agency, ASIO, will have aggressive new powers from today to detain for an unlimited period citizens suspected of having information about terrorist offences.

Here is the rest of the story:

Each warrant can be for seven days, allowing ASIO to hold citizens, who have committed no crime but are believed to have information, for questioning over a total of three eight-hour periods.

Journalists, religious figures, doctors or teachers who, in the course of their work, inadvertently come into contact with a person with knowledge about a terrorist offence could be caught by the new laws

So, if I happen to know that Osama is somewhere in Pakistan, I can be held indeffinitely???
