Summary
The article covers a political clash between the police minister Mark Mitchell and critics over whether police have adequate IT systems to support new, incoming policing powers for enhanced intelligence gathering. The minister claims police have the necessary systems and capability, but official reviewers recently found that police data systems are fragmented, difficult to integrate, and misaligned with policing workflows. This raises questions about whether new powers are being granted without the proper technological foundation.
