The ABC (Australia) reports:
A battle is brewing between telecommunications companies and the Federal Government over further national security laws.
The Coalition Government wants to force telcos to do more to protect their networks and infrastructure from attack, and wants to give itself the power to directly intervene in the companies when there is a security risk.
The telcos are worried those powers are too broad, too intrusive and give Government unfettered access to their documents.
Obviously the government wants it both ways: telcos have to be secure from all attacks except "friendly" ones from the spooks in Canberra.

No... it wants to be able to access anything and everything.
The Richard Test applies here... and the AU government fails it!
