I'm sure the Chinese, their largest trading partner, will approve of this and take a keen interest in all the compromised-by-design technology the Australians will use to "protect" their business interests. They'll probably end up supplying most of that technology anyway. The Australians should be worrying about the backdoors they haven't been told about yet by the Chinese.

They trust in legal exceptions for themselves (look at EU chat control exceptions), which implies a thinking closer to the Soviet Union than a real republic. 2. They think they're already compromised by "the Chinese" or any other state actor and just feel incompetent themselves.
