    Govt to make interception easier
    
    THE federal Government today moved to give greater powers to spy agencies 
    to intercept people's emails.
    
    The Telecommunications (Interception) Amendment Bill 2004 also allows 
    warrants to be sought in connection with the investigation of a wider range 
    of serious offences, including terrorism.
    
    The bill, if passed by parliament, will allow recording of calls to ASIO 
    public lines.
