>However, this legislation was specifically put together with co-operation of all members of the five eyes, so there's a reasonable possibility of extradition. The Department of Home Affairs even made a public statement confirming as much. It seems to have since been pulled from their website, but is available at: [PDF link]
I read the PDF and didn't notice any mention of extradition. Am I missing something?
- Benjamin_Dobell 8y agoSorry for the ambiguity. The reference I provided was with regard to the fact the Australian Government has collaborated with other five eyes countries with this legislation, or at least the 'need' for this legislation. This is why I simply wrote there's a reasonable possibility of extradition, rather than anything definite.
- blotter_paper 8y agoAh, gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
- A2017U1 8y agoDon't know anything about extradition but the law specifically mentions putting in backdoors to aid foreign nations at their request. It also notes that this can be for economic espionage too and isn't limited to national security (for the people who like to pretend that's not what their intelligence agencies are doing)
