Australia's promised “not-a-backdoor” crypto-busting bill is out and the government has kept its word - it doesn't want a backdoor, just the keys to your front one.
The draft of The Assistance and Access Bill 2018 calls for anyone using or selling communications services in Australia will be subject to police orders for access to private data.
That includes all vendors of computers, phones, apps, social media and cloud services in the Lucky Country, and anyone within national borders using them. These data-tapping orders will be enforced with fines of up to AU$10m (US$7.3m) for companies or $50,000 ($36,368) for individuals
The draft legislation also wants five years in prison for anyone who reveals a data-slurping investigation is going on. And while there's no explicit encryption backdoor requirements in the 110 page draft bill, our first look suggests there doesn't need to be.

Two somewhat recent things have caused crime to shoot way up:
1. guns are pretty much banned, along with the right to fight back when being attacked
2. some parts are now overrun with Muslims; they will never accept western values

Great story - pity it isn't supported by the facts:
Homicide has steadily declined over the past 25 years [aic.gov.au] (also includes a chart showing % use of firearms in homicide has been dropping too)
Robberies are down by 1/3 over a 4 year period [aic.gov.au]
Counterpoint: Sexual assaults are up [abs.gov.au], though this could potentially be through increased reporting

On the other hand, child rape is way up.

These are individual cases - not worthwhile in terms of discussing trends. The poster below provides a better link that shows homicide and theft decreasing, but assault increasing.
