I'm not sure of the background, and why this is an issue that required clarification, but this report in the Australian says the Tasmanian Parliament and the Police have entered into an MOU concerning police powers to seize information held by parliamentarians. Some see this as making life more difficult for the police, others express concern about privacy implications.
The report says all state and territory AGs have agreed to put these type of arrangements in place.
