It’s worse then you think. As a Australian citizen you are required to comply with any order which includes leaking code and introducing back doors. Failure to comply or notifying your employer about the request will result in federal charges with a sentence between 20 to 60 years in prison. The legislation that contains this was passed almost a year ago.
Recently there’s been a wave of mass disruptions and data theft in Australia including most of our ports halting operations for a day and one of our largest phone and internet service providers being compromised where millions of peoples personal information like driver licences and passports being leaked.
How does that even work? When you push code for a back door it’s going to still go through a code review so it’s not exactly going to be secret, right?

That’s a really fucking stupid law. Do we need to worry about Australia becoming fascist?
Too late. Already is.
That’s a joke right? It has been for a very long time.
