[AusNOG] Dutton decryption bill

[Paul Wilkins]

Bradley,
To be clear, lawyer, spouse confidentiality is qualified. It depends on
circumstances.

As to whether priests' and therapists' communications should enjoy
qualified privilege, that's a whole other debate :)

I "lost" the SSH key sounds like the dog ate my homework - tell it to the
judge.

This is not Orwellian, as it's not mass surveillance. It's enforcing the
existing process of judicial warrants to the cyber domain. This was always
inevitable, and should have been done long ago, and only hasn't because of
the dilatory legislative process. It has allowed threats to representative
democracy to get ahead of the curve.

Kind regards

Paul Wilkins
