"Unlike police detention for suspected crimes, where suspects or persons of interest can refuse to answer questions, those apprehended by ASIO are afforded no such rights. If someone detained by ASIO refuses to speak, that is a crime for which they could face a summary judgment and up to five years imprisonment.

"It’s also a crime for an individual to disclose to a third party that they had been detained and questioned in the first place."
