This news is completely within the country's character and doesn't come as a surprise when you've been following Australian news. Their government can already legally coerce citizens who work for foreign companies into compromising their employer while gaging them from informing said companies. I'd go as far to say that this is a good thing. This law makes the risk of using Australian products more explicit.

  The law applies to e2ee products, old school client-server products were always compliant with such laws.

Even more. I'm sure companies don't hire Australians because of the law you mentioned.
