Electronic Frontier Foundation:
"But according to the FISC, that justification only applies at the time of initial collection (including the kind of massive overcollection that is occurring under 702) and can be completely abandoned once the government has its mitts on your communications.
The upshot is that the government needs a national security or foreign intelligence purpose only for the initial collection and analysis of information. Once it has communications in its custody, those limitations no longer apply and the government can troll through it for whatever law enforcement purpose it wants without having to worry about getting a pesky warrant.

theAustralian:
"Dakang director Gary Romano declined to comment on the Treasurer’s decision or Mr Morrison’s move last year to block the sale on national interest grounds because one of Kidman’s properties overlapped the Woomera Prohibited Area in South Australia, but he criticised claims that the Chinese buyers should be allowed only to lease and not purchase the Kidman properties."

Domestic spying internationally
SC Magazine UK:
"Domestic surveillance and foreign intelligent is not such a clear cut line in the age of PRISM. The Five Eyes group, a network of intelligence sharing between Australia, the UK, the US, Canada and New Zealand already shares the findings of various domestic surveillance programmes. This is only the tip of the iceberg as the Five Eyes regularly share with, and receive information from third parties and allies. PRISM itself is run with contributions from GCHQ and the Australian Signals directorate. "
