PIAC coordinated a group of NGOs, including the Australian Branch of the International Commission of Jurists, Australian Lawyers for Human Rights, the University of Sydney Institute of International Law, NSW Community Legal Centres and NSW Civil Liberties to make public comment on NSW Government legislation allowing police to execute search warrants secretly or “covertly” without notice the occupiers of a property or their neighbours, thereby infringing the human right to privacy.
