Australia just voted to ban working cryptography. No, really.

I wonder how the Global Financial Community’s going to react to THAT one, given how often their day-to-day Communications disclose information they’d rather not have anybody else reading.

Also, you must have a lot more faith in the incorruptibility of Government Employees than the average Financial Industry Executive does - or than I do, for that matter. I foresee a brisk secondary business in Security Service Agents peddling confidential financial information to third parties - if Certain Interested Parties in your Government don’t demand it as their due in order to profit from it first!
