I can advise that network activity warrants and data disruption warrants can be issued by an eligible judge or a nominated AAT member. This is consistent with who can issue existing warrants, such as computer access warrants, in the Surveillance Devices Act 2004. It is anticipated that these warrants will be used to complement other powers available to agencies. Account takeover warrants can be issued by a magistrate, as this is consistent with other powers, such as search powers in the Crimes Act.
