[AusNOG] Assistance and Access Bill moves to PJCIS

[Scott Weeks]

It's still Friday here, so I am looking like I'm working 
while reading these posts as I only have an hour and a 
half to go before happy hour starts...  ;-)

which was 55 devices and 800 clients.

Therefore the TAC et al are overkill within the context of the
Australian population of 25,000,000+
------------------------------------------------

This is a joke.  Right?  

"...with the devices being used to arrange at least two recent 
murders and hampered investigations into at least two others."

"Phantom Secure...enables messages to be sent and ledgers kept 
on a device which investigators cannot crack or intercept."

"...we are confident we can erode their impact."

So if the criminals used postal mail to arrange those crimes
and sent ledgers in the postal mail, would they say 'we have 
to be able to read every postal mail' to erode their impact 
and ensure safety and national security???  And, 4 crimes 
happened on a cell phone that's encrypted, so we need to be 
able to read the contents of 25 million+ cell phones whenever 
we want.  Just in case.  


"...representatives from the NSW Police have travelled to 
BlackBerry's headquarters in Canada in a bid to get advice 
on how to retrieve information from the encrypted devices."

Wow, a free trip to Canada because they can't do phone calls 
of internet video conferencing?  Something stinks!

"Earlier this year the ABC lodged a right to information 
application for documents outlining how much money had 
been raised by Project Synergy.

It was refused by Queensland Police."

"The QPS has told the ABC that money raised was used for 
training, cyber-safety programs and fraud awareness."

BWAHAHAHAHA!  No we're not going to tell you how we spent 
tons of money we shouldn't have spent.  (Maybe for fun on 
the Canada trip?)

"...including some questionable items such as wine 
coolers for a children's program".

Further, we're going to get the kids drunk, so they won't 
either.
