The Government Will Pay for Your Bug Sweep... if you're an Australian

Domestic violence survivors to get government support to scan for spyware and hidden cameras.

Mobile phones will be checked for spyware and homes will be swept for cameras under a government plan to expand support for people who have experienced abuse by a current or former partner...

Nearly $55m will be invested in a program that provides technology checks to ensure people who have experienced domestic violence are not subjected to further abuse.

It includes checking a person's phone and computer to see if any GPS tracking programs or bugs have been installed, as well as searching for cameras hidden in toys, vents or lights in homes. more
