  Why the ASIO bill is rotten to the core - theage.com.au
If ASIO is to be granted coercive police powers, it must be subject to the political and community scrutiny and controls that would apply to any other police force.
No policy justification for the ASIO bill has been offered, nor has the government set out the nature and extent of the danger posed to Australians by terrorism.Unfortunately, the bill has the appearance of being a hasty overreaction to the tragedy of September 11, rather than an appropriate response to the issues facing Australia.
The ASIO bill, in providing coercive new means of information gathering, may miss the more significant issue of whether ASIO possesses the resources and capacity to analyse adequately the information it already has.

 Harmony Central®: Steinberg: ASIO 2.0
ASIO is a standardized way of describing the communication between audio software and a piece of audio hardware.
For a user, the knowledge that an ASIO driver exists for a particular piece of hardware, is a sign that there will be a performance boost, compared with the same audio card configured to use the Operating System's own mechanism, and often an accompanying latency reduction, shown by reduced monitoring delays.
ASIO has been well received and now together with our development partners we have developed and released the ASIO 2.0 specification and developer tools.
