I believe Australian laws state that if the government requests your data and they can't hand it over, they're required to build a method to track you. So practically speaking if you want true privacy you'd need to use the Tor network.

Australian states are working on laws to impose fines on companies that don't provide data in cases of 'vilification', under the pretense of catching 'anonymous nazis' or whatever. We're cooked

Also if you call someone a nazi here, they sue you for defamation
