summary

Australian Assistance and Access (AA) Act grants broad powers to many agencies to issue technical assistance requests or compulsory notices that can compel providers — defined so widely as to include anyone running a website — to install malware or build capabilities, with no judicial oversight and little transparency. A two‑week consultation precedes passage, despite 15,000 submissions opposing it; the law criminalizes refusal, risks creating systemic weaknesses, and enables government hacking that mirrors the NSA hoarding vulnerability failures behind WannaCry.
