Most had never met our Queen, but we had a connection to Her Majesty regardless. Perhaps our connection was driven by Her Majesty’s commitment and stability to the Commonwealth for 70 years, or that we felt there was someone above elected governments that was always looking out for the people’s best interests. May you now rest in peace with your beloved husband, Prince Philip.

Closer to our industry, one can only imagine the enormous challenge in managing the security requirements for Her Majesty’s funeral, having world leaders, dignitaries, celebrities and the like from all over the globe attending, each with their own security team and requirements.

Locally, it was great to see the industry coming back together at the Security expo, conference and gala dinner. Cybercrime, terrorism, increasing data vulnerabilities and a worsening global security situation are among the security challenges Australians face. The Security expo showcased new technologies to address these security challenges, whilst experts from government, public and private enterprise spoke about these security challenges at the Security conference. After such a long break, three years in fact, people were once again networking with

each other, sharing stories, ideas and challenges of our industry. We know that Together, Each Achieves More, and the networking these events provides, is a testament of this statement.

Thanks again to all our sponsors across the three events, to the ASIAL Secretariat for the countless hours in planning and delivering one the best events I’ve seen in a long time, and to the ASIAL Board for their role in the continued professionalism of our industry; Rachaell Saunders (VicePresident), Kevin McDonald (former President), Brian Foster, Fred Khoury, Mike Smith, Tamara Bayly and Mark Guiney.

Until next time, thanks for supporting ASIAL, let’s continue to play our part in keeping ‘A safe and secure Australia’. See you at the next ASIAL industry briefing.

NSW - SECURITY INDUSTRY AMENDMENT BILL TABLED IN PARLIAMENT

A Bill has been introduced to the NSW Parliament to make miscellaneous amendments to the Security Industry Act 1997 and the Security Industry regulation 2016. The bill seeks to strengthen the licensing regime for the security industry, modernise the Security Industry Act in line with current security activities and make clarifications to remove ambiguities.

The bill makes seven significant amendments to the security industry licensing scheme in New South Wales:

1. To make a number of amendments focused on clarifying provisions in the Security Industry Act, streamlining processes and making the Act future ready and fit for purpose.

2. To introduce a tiered penalty system for breaches of licence conditions, with penalty increases for more serious offences. This will apply to both individuals and corporations. The security industry

MORE INFO

has raised concerns about the blanket application of the current one-size-fits-all approach to penalties under the Act, especially when the risk to public safety is not the same in all cases.

3. To expand the definition of “crowd controller” to include locations where unlicensed and untrained crowd controller activities are being performed. These locations are referred to as “relevant places” for the purposes of the bill.

4. To combine the current class 1A, unarmed guard, and 1C, crowd controller, to be a new security officer class 1A licence. That amendment will not change the authority or any requirement for any of the functions of those licence classes. The bill also introduces a new class of security licence for cash in transit tailored to those who patrol, protect or guard cash in transit.

5. To strengthen the regulatory framework by allowing the Commissioner of Police to prohibit a person from reapplying for a security licence for two years if the

commissioner refused their initial application on specific grounds. A similar provision in the bill will prohibit certain ineligible persons from working in higher risk areas of the security industry.

6. To expand offences of obstruction or failing to comply with requirements of enforcement officers into a new part 3C. The current penalty for obstruction is not a significant enough deterrent to stop criminal activity. The bill increases the penalty from 100 penalty units to 500 penalty units or two years’ imprisonment, or both.

7. To enable the Commissioner of Police to make information publicly available about significant offences committed under the principal Act or the revocation of a licence.

Building Capability and Capacity in the Security Industry

Through ASIAL’s leadership and advocacy, the case for nationally consistent regulatory standards has been recognised. Yet, despite agreement in 2008 by the Council of Australian Governments to implement a nationally consistent approach to regulation of the private security industry, progress has stalled.

To address this impasse, ASIAL has prepared a draft Model National Private Security Act (NPSA) as a catalyst for national discourse to advance development and implementation of a single ‘Model’ national law for regulation of the private security industry.

ASIAL is seeking comments from interested stakeholders on the draft National Private Security Act. The closing date for comments is 31 October 2022.

Proposed merger of Linfox Armaguard and Prosegur Australia

The

2022 ASIAL Annual and Financial Report is now available to members.

Managing through the uncertainties of COVID19 has been a dominant feature over the past two years. The Association’s decisions have been focussed on providing support to members, whilst keeping our people safe and adapting to new ways of working.

ASIAL’s Secretariat team of ten has worked hard to support and service the needs of members over the past year responding to 377,000 phone and email enquiries. Despite a challenging operating environment, the Association has continued to provide a high level of service to its members.

During the course of the year the Association implemented a new CRM database and web portal, commissioned three important industry reports (Security 2025 – A roadmap for the Future; 2022 Australian Security Confidence Index and 2022 ASIAL Security Licensing Report), released its National Private Security Act discussion paper and generated 70 media mentions with a total audience reach potential of 51 million. Additionally, the numerous podcast episodes, face-to-face events, articles, industry submissions, media appearances and advocacy to government illustrate the vital industry leadership role ASIAL performs on behalf of the industry.

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS

Year on year membership growth, whilst modest, continues to underscore the important role performed by the Association. A growing membership base provides strength in numbers and has enabled the Association to provide a growing range of services.

ASIAL’s member recognition continues to go from strength to strength, with 49 platinum members who have been with the Association for over 25 years, 430 gold members (16-24 years), 375 Silver members (11-15 years) and 283 Bronze members (6-10 years).

Membership of ASIAL continues to be a mark of distinction, as evidenced by the many users of security now specifying ASIAL membership as a condition of tendering for work. With its strong and growing base of members, the Association is well placed to enhance its service offering. A good example of this is the soon to be launched ASIAL app which responds to member requests for access on their mobile phones to the wide range of products and services the Association offers.

As laws and regulations play catch-up, the growth in AI begs many questions about safety, security and reliability. This book sets out to answer questions about ethics and responsibility and maps the potential harms that AI may cause from individual harms right through to full existential risk.

According to Louis Rosenberg, CEO & Chief Scientist, Unanimous AI, “AI systems are learning to master the game of humans. Researchers around the world are developing AI systems to out-think-us, out-negotiate us, and out-maneuver us. Is there anything we can do to protect ourselves?

We certainly can’t stop AI from getting more powerful. And while many are working to put safeguards in place, there’s a notable lack of urgency, especially in industry. Which is why this book, Checkmate Humanity, is so important – it clearly conveys the very real risks of AI and the urgent need for proactive measures.”

Dr Catriona Wallace address at the ASIAL Security 2022 Conference

The freshly-minted Albanese Government last week announced an external review into Australia’s military defences and an assessment of our readiness.

The review is to be headed up by former Defence Minister Stephen Smith and the former Chief of Defence, Sir Angus Houston. Sir Angus commented on television last week that the current strategic situation is the worst he has ever known in his career or his lifetime. Sir Angus knew the Vietnam War, so his observation is revealing.

It is not unheard of for incoming Federal Governments to conduct such reviews, however the current strategic situation, grave as it is, as Sir Angus Houston points out, is clearly a trigger for a significant review right now.

Most military observers would probably agree that Australia’s submarine issue should have been worked out at least a decade ago. And issues surrounding the commissioning of Black Hawk helicopters, decommissioning them and then recommissioning them - plus a raft of other military hardware issues, takes on a greater sense of urgency when set against the backdrop of an increasingly militarised South China Sea and the brinkmanship and general posturing of China and the US. And then of course, there’s Russia in the Ukraine.

Critically, Australia’s vulnerabilities are not limited to the military. Australian businesses and government – indeed even householders are potentially targets for cyber and info warfare attacks by hostile actors both state-sponsored and misguided individuals acting for money or cheap thrills.

CONVENTIONAL

ALTERNATIVE TO WARFARE

are seriously out-gunned by a gigantic adversary, perhaps our focus should shift to an alternative to conventional warfare – “Information Warfare”.

As highlighted in the ASIAL-commissioned Security 2025 Report, all Australian governments, the private security industry and business must work as a team if Australia is going to meet the security challenges that lie ahead. It is not just a military issue.

Leaving military hardware to one side, today, defence and security in general, increasingly revolves around technology and information. Warfare used to mean fighting over physical borders with conventional weapons. But today, the emphasis is increasingly on information warfare. Whilst conventional battles are characterised by blood, bombed cities and refugees, the other form of war might be conducted without being noticed at all.

Ask most people what information warfare is about and they will probably say that it is like propaganda - deliberately propagating a perception (either true or false), intending to engender a new certain world view on a population in order to influence their beliefs, attitudes and ultimately their behaviour. (Ellul, Jacques 1965).

A definition for information warfare is elusive. The US Defence Information Systems Agency defines it as, “...actions taken to achieve information superiority in support of national military strategy by affecting adversary information and information

systems while leveraging and protecting our information and information systems” (Takemoto 2001).

Although very advanced in theory and practice in Russia and China (and in the Ukraine too apparently, judging on recent performance), information warfare in Australia is a relative toddler.

The Navy has a nascent Information Warfare unit and the Army regularly conducts exercises with information warfare elements included, albeit in a very low-key and under-developed fashion.

Yet the ADF still separates Public Affairs, Intelligence and PhsyOps (Psychological Operations) as three distinct functions. Fortunately, there are stirrings of a small degree of integration but they are still very much three separate functions in the three separate services (Navy, Army and RAAF).

Our military and our Government rightly shun the idea of deliberate distortion of facts for propaganda gains because “that’s what the bad guys do”. Instead, we use terms like, “Shaping the Narrative”, “Raising Awareness”, “Engagement” and other equally benign-sounding terms. We only use harsher epithets like “propaganda” when describing what certain other countries are doing. Of course, everybody knows that thinly-disguised disinformation and downright lies are being spread by certain big, bad superpowers. And it is

unfair and inaccurate to suggest that Australia plays in that particular league.

But when we consider information warfare, we should look past the cruel memes, the state media-sponsored lies and blatant cover-ups that we increasingly associate with Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine for example.

There is a certain asymmetric nature to this. A tiny country, weak in military terms, can give a huge invader a bloody nose, even if it is bristling with weapons, provided it can disrupt the enemy’s weapon systems and communication channels, which are so addicted to electronics and online connectivity. Moreover, cyber attacks can be launched on an adversary from almost anywhere on the planet bringing critical infrastructure to a standstill - air traffic control, telecommunications, electricity grid etc. And crucially, the psychological elements of information operations are as available to Australia or any superpower.

Whilst there is an extensive array of information warfare tools and techniques available and any number of motivations for their use, exactly how one uses them and to what end demands careful consideration at the very highest level. The nation’s morals, values and beliefs must be reflected in any information warfare intent and actions. In other words, certain other countries might choose to conduct themselves despicably, but Australia certainly must not follow suit.

So when the report into Australia’s defence readiness is made public, assuming it ever is (and that might depend on just how shocking the findings are), we shall look with interest to see if the ADF is interested in fighting with words, images and cyber-electronic expertise - or just weapons alone.

Nichiporuk describes six main components of information warfare to define the concept (Nichiporuk 1999):

Electronic warfare, involving jamming communication systems, for example, to prevent the enemy from communicating with itself.

Operations security, identifying one’s own weaknesses and protecting them from attacks. This is not isolated to military weaknesses and applies equally to the private sector like banking and infrastructure - a job for the private Security Industry.

Deception - giving away false information to mislead the opponent. This could mean sending out the wrong coordinates for an attack in order to keep the accurate location secret.

Physical attack on information processes which could mean bombing communication centres for instance. Unlike the others, this is like conventional warfare because it revolves around physical attacks.

Information attacks, which is when technology is used to sabotage someone else’s information systems. Viruses can delete or spy on enemy systems.

And information operations (or PsyOps), which means affecting people’s views and opinions by different types of communication channels such as the mainstream media or social media.

IS IT OK TO SECRETLY RECORD DISCIPLINARY MEETINGS WITH THE BOSS?

Smart phones and watches provide many benefits to their owners. In the hands of an employee facing a disciplinary meeting they could be used to record the conversation. Is it lawful? Is it admissible in an unfair dismissal case?

Chris Delaney ASIAL’s Workplace Relations Advisor discusses the implications for both the employer and the employee.

Most employees called to a disciplinary meeting will be cautious, concerned and may fear dismissal. They may want to protect themselves by (secretly) recording the meeting for later proof of raising a complaint, or being bullied or to show that they were not given a fair go to improve, the perceived power being with the employer.

Every state and territory has laws to regulate the use of surveillance devices. Some provide criminal offences, while others do not. Much depends on where the employer’s business is located as to whether making a covert recording is against the law.

In Queensland, the Northern Territory and South Australia, it’s not unlawful for an employee to record a conversation covertly if they’re a party to the conversation. In South Australia the recording must be to protect the employee’s position in any dispute about their employment. In Victoria legislation allows the recording but it restricts that recording from being communicated or published.

In every other state and territory, it’s unlawful for an employee to record a conversation without seeking, and gaining, permission from the other parties to the conversation. There are exceptions in each state and territory, including for example if a person consents to a recording by a second person to protect the first person’s position in a dispute about their employment.

In the event that an employee wants to use the recording as evidence, they must provide evidence that the recording was “lawful”, for example:

If the recording was “reasonably necessary for the protection of their lawful interests“1

30 SECURITY INSIDER | OCTOBER–DECEMBER 2022 INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

A lot will depend on the circumstances at the time the recording was made and the events leading up to it.

Or

If the recording was in the “public interest”

The employee must have a strong basis for believing it was in the public interest, and the belief must be reasonable. If it is just the personal opinion of the employee that the recording was in the public interest it will not succeed.

Or

Each party consents to the conversation being recorded

In the event of an unfair dismissal hearing the Fair Work Commission (FWC) will consider all of the circumstances and assess whether each party to the conversation gave consent.

Is a secret/covert recording admissible in evidence?

While the Fair Work Act 2009 allows the FWC to exercise its discretion to accept or reject evidence, most often the FWC will follow the rules of evidence outlined in Evidence Act2 which permits illegally obtained evidence in cases where the “desirability of admitting the evidence outweighs the undesirability of admitting evidence”

Employees should note that a Full Bench of the FWC has indicated that the making of a covert recording is in itself a valid reason for dismissal3

In a case before it, the FWC made the following comment that clarified its position on secret recordings by employees: “the secret recording of conversations with co-workers to be highly inappropriate, regardless of whether it may also constitute a criminal offence in the relevant jurisdiction. The reason it is inappropriate is because it is unfair to those who are secretly recorded” 4

WHAT SHOULD EMPLOYERS DO?

In the event that an employee wants to use the recording as evidence, they must provide evidence that the recording was “lawful”.

2. s.138 of the Evidence Act 1995 (Cth),

3. Schwenke v Silcar Energy Solutions [2013] FWCFB 9842 [3].

Dealing with employee performance or conduct issues can be stressful. It is always worthwhile seeking advice to ensure a ‘fair go all round’. ASIAL’s Workplace Relations Advisor is available to provide advice and assistance to members on all workplace issues.Draft and introduce a policy on the use of personal recording devices in the workplace. The policy should include a provision that audio and or visual recordings may only be made with the consent of all parties included in the conversation or activity and that covert recording may constitute a breach of trust and confidence.

Policies and Employment Contracts should include a requirement that performance and conduct disciplinary matters are strictly confidential and may not be discussed other than with the parties representatives.

When commencing a disciplinary meeting the parties should be advised that other than notes taken by the employee or their support person recording the meeting is prohibited.

Be aware of the statements made and the language used during the meeting in case that it is being recorded secretly.

Concentrate on the reasons for the disciplinary discussion, present the facts and allegations to the employee and provide a real opportunity for them to respond and keep good notes.
