In case you missed it, Australia (and a few other countries) appear to be waging a bit of a war against encryption.

This morning the PM has used the insane rhetorical line that the "laws of mathematics are very commendable but the only laws [sic] that applies in Australia is the law of Australia."

George Brandis, the AG, is 'assured' by one of Britain's spy agencies that encryption messaging systems can be broken.

Laws to be introduced to parliament by the end of the year.

@drzax Brandis is so far out of his depth he doesn't even know he's drowning.

I so wished the populace would have seen through the Coalition antics at that snap election but alas, no.

And now, the only really tech savy pollie has resigned due to an oversight of NZ citizenship. :(
