If my reading of the explanatory document was correct, the proposed legislation goes beyond telecommunications providers. Software developers, both within Australia and overseas, can be compelled under threat of 10 years imprisonment, to build and/or insert into their software any mechanism required by the government agencies to enable access to communications. So, the developers of any secure software would now be under threat of extradition to Australia and jail time unless they compromise their own app. Unfortunately, in the absence of massive pressure, Labor will do nothing but add a few useless amendments, and pass it.
