Australia: Mutual Assistance and International Production Orders
Readiness training. LEA.Training does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
The suspect uses a messaging app run by a company in the United States. Your warrant powers at home were built for Australian carriers. This unit sets out the two formal roads to data held overseas: mutual assistance, and the international production order. It also covers requests that come in to Australia.
Focus: preserve first. Then choose the road by three questions: which country, which kind of data, and who the target is.
Learning objectives
- Say when a mutual assistance request is needed, and who makes it.
- Describe the international production order framework and its three kinds of order.
- State the offence thresholds, and who checks an order before it leaves Australia.
- Explain the limits on targeting under the agreement with the United States.
- Read the first-year figures with care.
- Outline how foreign requests into Australia are handled.
