The bill passed anyway and came into force this week. The government can now oblige tech firms to create backdoors to their systems to allow the authorities to spy on their customers. The penalties for non-compliance are stiff: A$10m ($7.2m) for defiant firms and A$50,000 for recalcitrant people. Exposing police snooping is punishable with five years in prison.
