I was about to post the same extract and ask a slightly different question:
Does this break the chain of trust of evidence? How can any evidence, therefore, be admissible?
Digital / electronic evidence has always been on a bit of a shaky foundation, but this crumbles it to pieces.

Just as advocatus diaboli: If you add a message to a bigger scale drug supplier in the name of one client, you could request an earlier delivery to some location of your choice. This would add content, but not plant any evidence - as the evidence would be the supplier handing you "the keys to the truck". I know nothing about australian law, but i am tempted to think that courts could burn serious time on such a case. Of course this is dangerous b.s. to have in legislation.
