So one can assume you have a thorough knowledge of the Australian Constitution and have read applicable state law- care to point out where the American versions are better?

Hmm, if you ask a black american or a minority how does 4th amendment treat them. Or lately so called terrorist, who are abducted and detained without any courts permission or even allow to see a lawyer.
Maybe you go check out unitary executive theory, where a president can do whatever he wants to, with no oversight of the constitution, law, or democratically elected representatives of the people. Yes that also have given rise to allowing the government to spy on their own people without their permission and/or knowledge.
