+ Relevant laws and/or legal precedents:
+ Australian Capital Territory:
+ Subsection 4(3)(b) Listening Devices Act 1992 (ACT)
+ https://www8.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/legis/act/consol_act/lda1992181/s4.html
+ A person must not use a listening device with the intention of recording a private conversation
+ to which the person is a party. This does not apply when said listening device is used by, or
+ on behalf of, a party to a private conversation if a principal party to the conversation
+ consents to the listening device being so used, and the recording of the conversation is
+ considered by that principal party, on reasonable grounds, to be necessary for the protection
+ of that principal party's lawful interests; or the recording is not made for the purpose of
+ communicating or publishing the conversation, or a report of the conversation, to any person
+ who is not a party to the conversation.
+ New South Wales:
+ Subsection 7(3)(b) Surveillance Devices Act 2007 (NSW)
+ https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/legis/nsw/consol_act/sda2007210/s7.html
+ A person must not knowingly use a listening device to record a private conversation to which
+ the person is a party. This does not apply when a principal party to the conversation consents
+ to the listening device being so used and the recording of the conversation is reasonably
+ necessary for the protection of the lawful interests of that principal party, or is not made
+ for the purpose of communicating or publishing the conversation, or a report of the
+ conversation, to persons who are not parties to the conversation.
+ Northern Territory:
+ Subsection 11(1)(a) Surveillance Devices Act 2007 (NT)
+ https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/legis/nt/num_act/sda200719o2007256/s11.html
+ Subsection 43, Emergency use of listening device in public interest
+ https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/legis/nt/num_act/sda200719o2007256/s43.html
+ It is an offence to use a listening device to record a private conversation to which the person
+ is not a party and the device is used without the express or implied consent of each party to
+ the conversation. Under Section 43, a person may use a listening device to record a private
+ conversation if at the time of use there are reasonable grounds for believing the circumstances
+ are so serious and the matter is of such urgency that the use of the device is in the public
+ interest.
+ Queensland:
+ Subsection 43(2)(a) Invasion of Privacy Act 1971 (Qld)
+ https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/legis/qld/consol_act/iopa1971222/s43.html
+ A person is guilty of an offence, if the person uses a listening device to record a private
+ conversation and is liable to a maximum penalty of 40 penalty units or imprisonment for 2
+ years. This does not apply when the person using the listening device is a party to the
+ private conversation.
+ South Australia:
+ Subsection 4(2)(a)(ii) Surveillance Devices Act 2016 (SA)
+ https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/legis/sa/consol_act/sda2016210/s4.html
+ A person must not knowingly use a listening device to record a private conversation to which
+ the person is, or is not a party. The maximum penalty is $15 000 or imprisonment for 3 years.
+ This does not apply if the use of a listening device is done by a party to the private
+ conversation if the use of the device is reasonably necessary for the protection of the lawful
+ interests of that person.
+ Tasmania:
+ Subsection 5(3)(b) Listening Devices Act 1991 (TAS)
+ https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/legis/tas/consol_act/lda1991181/s5.html
+ A person shall not use a listening device to record a private conversation to which the person
+ is, or is not, a party. This does not apply when the listening device is used to obtain
+ evidence or information in connection with an imminent threat of serious violence to persons or
+ of substantial damage to property, or a serious narcotics offence, if the person using the
+ listening device believes on reasonable grounds that it was necessary to use the device
+ immediately to obtain that evidence or information. This does not apply if a principal party
+ to the conversation consents to the listening device being so used and the recording of the
+ conversation is reasonably necessary for the protection of the lawful interests of that
+ principal party or the recording of the conversation is not made for the purpose of
+ communicating or publishing the conversation, or a report of the conversation, to persons who
+ are not parties to the conversation.
+ Victoria:
+ Subsection 6(1) Surveillance Devices Act 1999 (NSW)
+ https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/legis/vic/consol_act/sda1999210/s6.html
+ A person must not knowingly use a listening device to record a private conversation to which
+ the person is not a party. The penalty is up to 2 years imprisonment and up to 240 penalty
+ units, or both.
+ Western Australia:
+ Subsection 5(3)(d) Surveillance Devices Act 1998 (WA)
+ https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/legis/wa/consol_act/sda1998210/s5.html
+ Subsection 26(1)(2)(3)(b)
+ https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc/au/legis/wa/consol_act/sda1998210/s26.html
+ A person shall not use a listening device to record a conversation to which that person is, or
+ is not, a party. The penalty is $5 000 or imprisonment for 12 months, or both. This does not
+ apply to the use of a listening device by a party to a private conversation if that principal
+ party consents to its use, as reasonably necessary for the protection of the lawful interests
+ of that principal party. It is also not applicable in cases where a person who is a party to
+ a private conversation, or is acting on behalf of a party to a private conversation, uses a
+ listening device to record said private conversation, believing that the use of the listening
+ device is in the public interest.
+ Summary:
+ Most states and territories allow to make a recording of your personal conversations under
+ specific circumstances. The key exception is the State of South Australia, which does not allow
+ a party to single-handedly record their conversations. Since there is no way to distinguish
+ between the states and territories based on MCC, call recording will continue to be disabled
+ for Australia, until there are changes to the laws of the State of Victoria.
