“It started with smartphones. But new technology means that we can now potentially be filmed even in the privacy of our own backyards, without our knowledge”- Ugur Nedim, Sydney Criminal Lawyers. Drone use in Australia hasn't reached to drastic measures, yet. Drones have become a huge controversy in Australia. It simply began with individuals, but now companies and even the Australian military have gotten involved with this new technology.
