Dopey Dutton is after our encrypted private messages

Dutton has gone the full Darth

Yes folks, just when we all thought we were safe from Dopey Dutton after his Libspill humiliation, he has once again raised his Orwellian head.

We were dismayed that after Libspill, instead of being banished to the back bench Mad Morrison let him keep his job as Darth Dutton to continue attacking the freedoms of the Australian people. This is after just escaping a no confidence motion in the lower house by one vote (his own) which would have put him on the back bench as well. 

You'd think that maybe he might get a hint that he was deeply unpopular with an election looming, and that he may set about at least trying to appear nice to the electorate? But no, his big legislation right after Libspill is to once again attack the population's freedoms. Going the full Darth.

He's just a really stupid man. Surely he'd know that this legislation doesn't have a hope in hell of getting through the senate? So why present it? The legislation is diabolical. You've got to ask about the combined level of intelligence of the gov itself to do so.

Legislation which will allow the police to read through your private messages has been put forward by the coalition.

 On Thursday, Peter Dutton announced the introduction of the Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment (Assistance and Access) Bill 2018 which aims to weaken encryption laws to help law enforcement.

 The technology sector, Labor and the Greens were left dumbfounded by how quickly the serious legislation was introduced to the House of Representatives.

 If the bill is passed, tech companies will have to remove encrypted protection on users devices, this will give authorities access to our protected online information.

 This means enforcement agencies will be able to install software on a device, provide access to devices, and help agencies build their own systems on the devices.

 An excerpt of the draft reads that 'encrypted devices and applications are eroding the ability of our law enforcement and security agencies'.

 Since the legislation was put forward, Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, and Google have fought back on the legislation claiming it poses a risk to public and personal safety of users.

 Digital Industry Group (DIGI) managing director Nicole Buskiewicz said the new bill could create a vulnerability for everyday consumers.

 As a spokesperson for the companies, Ms Buskiewicz said the new laws would make it 'easier for bad actors to commit crimes against individuals, organisations or communities'. Daily Mail UK
