And yet NordVPN and Signal both continue to work in Australia (I don't know who/what Windscribe are), so all other things aside, I suspect this is a hollow threat.

		They have not asked yet or companies (Fastmail for example) just provide access and keep quiet. > Australia passes world’s first law authorizing encryption backdoors > The law authorizes police to compel companies to create a security vulnerability, often called a backdoor, that would give investigators access to an individual’s communication without that person’s knowledge. It marks a major milestone in the so-called “crypto wars” over the public’s ability to “go dark” via the powerful encryption available on commercial devices. https://cyberscoop.com/australia-encryption-backdoors-law-pa...
