>>>...ASIO was not interested in making a mad grab for power, the spy
agency boss said today as debate continued over the need for a wider role

A Senate committee is the third body to hold an inquiry into proposed new
powers for ASIO, including detaining people for up to a week without charge
if it thinks they might have useful information.
ASIO director general Dennis Richardson said he understood some people had
genuine concerns about the new powers, especially the right to detain
someone for up to 48 hours without a lawyer.
But he said ASIO was just interested in maximising the chances of
preventing an act of terrorism. ..<<<
