With the Australian Labor Party caving in on the proposed encryption law that will allow Australian police and agencies to access private data directly from vendors, the new proposed laws are now agreed in principle to introduce government level snooping of user messages and encrypted files. Agencies like ASIO or the Australian Federal Police will have the ability to request that telecommunications and tech companies help them with their investigations and compel companies to build ways to allow targeted access to encrypted communications data.

    I quit flying and I quit paying the income tax. I am working on ways to deny them further. The work of my life is dedicated to the cause of freedom in one way or another. I invite other Real Americans and freedom loving people around the world to join me. We don't even have to kill these authoritarian scum, unless they force the confrontation (which they increasingly do). We just have to quit sheepishly funding and supporting/legitimizing them. They will have to reform and get honest work or further reveal themselves for the criminals they are, at which point The Normals can see the reality of the situation.
