Photographing federal buildings in Australia?
score:11
Accepted answer
No, there are no laws at all in Australia which blanket prohibit photographers from photographing Federal or government buildings - there are provisions in the law (Defence (Special Undertakings) Act 1952, Defence Act 1903) for restricting certain activities around certain areas, but these are related to defence activities and not Federal government offices or police buildings.
What you have basically run into is a common issue with the police and photographers the world over - the police often tend to overstep their authority and make claims regarding photography where there is no basis in law.
I suggest reading "Street Photographers Rights" by the Arts Law Centre of Australia, or "NSW Photo Rights - Australian Street Photography Legal Issues" by Andrew Nemeth.
