[AusNOG] Dutton decryption bill

[Rob Thomas]

I hate to be the ones COMPLIMENTING the Gumbyment, but it's nowhere
near as bad as I thought they were going to make it. It looks like
they've actually spoken to some people who udnerstand crypto.

The important bits seem to be on Pages 8 and 9 here -
https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/consultations/Documents/explanatory-document.pdf
- where they explain what they can do.

The only SLIGHTLY worrying bit is the second last part on Page 9 -
They can compel people into "Modifying or substituting a target
service", which seems worryingly vague.

I haven't read through all of it, and - of course - the devil will be
in the details.  But, it's not bad, all things considered.
