No, it would be an offense to make a statement about the existence or nonexistence of a journalistic information warrant.
But I believe the bill which passed actually includes the ability to publish aggregated statistics about how many notices you've received. Removing the need for warrant canaries.
(And you wouldn't have to be a citizen, just a subject of Australian law which means that you are either a citizen, are a constitutional corporation, or physically present within Australia. Same as any other nation's laws.)

But those stats would be useless as each notice can target an arbitrary number of people. The law as written can literally ask for the data of every one of your users. As I understand it, there can be no stats about the number of individuals targeted, only the number of notices received.
