I don't know why the Five Eyes countries issued a joint statement the other day (tellingly, via the Aussie government's web site). Modus Operandi for each Five Eyes country since forever is to ship their secrets to another partner so they could claim not to be spying on their own people. All they need is for AUS to have the backdoor and then all data could be channeled that way.

I appreciate that the author mentioned the gross incompetence of our intelligence operation which I presume doesn't get much mention outside the country.

PS: nice original Mac illustration for that article!
