Description

The Gold Coast Games was subjected to the most expansive and intrusive public surveillance operation to be used by Australian police. The evaluation report reveals that no “high-priority targets” could be identified by the software, leading to the use of the technology for general surveillance – completely at odds with assurances by police regarding the basis for the investment and its level of effectiveness 1

At the time, QPS Deputy Commissioner Gollschewski said “there is no specific threat against the Games or against anything in Queensland, but of course we live in a probable-threat environment.” This type of language was used to justify the introduction of protective security zones around 23 Games venues and the heavy and light rail networks. This new status gave police increased powers to detain, search and move people on. It was this same language of potential terrorist attacks that justifies more intrusive surveillance regimes. In Queensland, the mass surveillance technology can only ordinarily be used to identify suspects for crimes that could attract a sentence of at least of three years in prison 1
