In addition to its
village idiot approach to undermining end-to-end encryption in new surveillance

Under the draft Assistance
and Access Bill 2018 unveiled yesterday, the government is giving
police, spy agencies and regulators like the ATO the power to demand that tech
companies help them plant malware on computers and phones to help it defeat
end-to-end encryption.
