I'm fine with ACIC having those three warrant options, since they're still under the watchful eyes of IGIS.
I don't believe AFP should be included directly in this, as we hear of bad apples within the AFP ranks unlawfully accessing various things and disseminating sensitive information often enough to suggest that they, collectively, can't be trusted.
If AFP could request info from ACIC or request ACIC execute warrants on AFPs behalf, I'd be fine with that too, since that sharing of info and warrant execution would still be subjected to IGIS scrutiny.
I don't agree with ACIC claim of law abiding citizens having no legitimate reason to use encrypted communication. ACIC is welcome to all of my communication data, encrypted or otherwise, but I absolutely don't want bad actors having access to it.
I believe the use of E2E is an legitimate application of our government's urging Australians to stay 'cybersafe'.
Like the Australien Government, they blame the consumers of electricity(EVs are bad because they charge from our dirty 19th century generation tech we've ensured most people have to use, like it or not), not the market and ridiculous policies keeping the dirty energy generators at the forefront of the energy market.
Same applies to indoor cannabis growing power consumption.
Commented in the post linking to the ABC article about it, but I'll post in this thread too, since it's being reported by news outlets somewhat inaccurately.
Searching for 'news' in google in Australia absolutely does not return results without the commercial news sites as most headlines may lead people to believe.
Directly linking to news _articles_ on those news sites may be hidden, but it's an important distinction that nobody appears to be making.
