[AusNOG] Section 186 of the Customs Act 1901

[Simon Sharwood]

FWIW the chap in this story pinged me on Twitter after the incident and we spoke not long afterwards. The version of the incident he related to me differed from what he claimed on Twitter and from the events described in The Guardian. As he could not explain the discrepancy between his Tweets and account related to me, I did not write the story.

Holy Crap! Talking about the time not fitting crime!

"...the penalties for individuals refusing to provide
access to the ABF to evidence held in a device – for
example, refusing to share their password to unlock a
device – would be up to five years’ imprisonment, or
10 for serious offences."
