[AusNOG] Assistance and Access Bill moves to PJCIS

[Matt Perkins]

It strikes me that all that will be needed is the phone manufacturers to put a screen capture and remote access ability on the phones. Then Law enforcement need to do is read the screens no need to involve the individual app makers at all.  They are after a wide and non savvy audience here. Looking over the shoulder of phone users is what we are talking about. I would say expect to see a boost in convictions of medium size drug distributors  and  small amateur terror type people. 

These are the same people that used sms before they just want that capability back. 

Matt
