I think this legislation and all its warts is going to be a
particularly Australian feature.
Exported globally, though.
A 5-eyes power who wants to surveil someone can come to Australia, get
ASIO or ASD to land a TCN on the target's platform provider, and pass on
the result.
Example:
CIA wants something from an iPhone user. They can't get it themselves.
So they take the iPhone user's IMEI to ASD and ask for 5-eyes assistance.
ASD screams "terrorist!" in a TCN sent to Apple, which demands
production of a compromised version of iOS which keylogs and screenshots
any encrypted messaging apps which happen to run, and pushed as a silent
upgrade to that user's phone.
Results flow from Apple to ASD, and ASD passes them back to the CIA.
There is no need for any other 5-eyes nation to pass this law now that
Australia has it. It's provided 5-eyes with a global capability.
