Not just "pushes", they have already passed a law where they can secretly force sysadmins to create backdoors for them under threat of 15 years jail, with no legal representation. No warrant necessary, just the approval of a retired judge. And no reporting. You can't make this shit up.
Stasi commandant Dutton has also recently introduced a bill to interrogate 14 year olds with no legal representation as well.
Bloody scary what's happening here.
