You are not allowed to share private communications that have been legally intercepted. This rule used to be part of the Crimes Act 1961, but it was removed on 18 April 2012. The rule was taken out by the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. Even though this specific rule is no longer in the Crimes Act, it’s still important to respect people’s privacy and follow the current laws about private communications.
