The legislation "... includes giving ASIO the power to hack into an innocent third party's computer to access a target computer, and to infiltrate entire computer networks on a single warrant."

Now the real question is - does "third party" mean a target's associate, or can third party extend to the likes of a target's service providers e.g. Google, D-Link, Microsoft, Samsung?
