'The Australian government has decided it can beat math at its own game.
The laws of math will be defeated by the laws of Australia, the
government declared last year. In an effort to tackle something this
article calls "terror encryption," the Home Office says laws punching
holes in encryption for government access are just around the corner.'

As usual, Dutton and Turnbull are singing from Theresa May's ignorant
"nerd harder" songbook. We can't be rid of them soon enough, but
unfortunately when police and security agencies say "jump", politicians
of all stripes tend to say "how high".

Cheers,
