There's always package forwarding. I'm about to find out how bad an idea that is.

It does require a court order, but notably you do not need to be suspected of a crime.

Dont we have a right [...] to not self incriminate?

Not that I'm aware of, but if you find otherwise, let me know!

They can compel you to reveal your password ~~without a warrant~~ but can't touch your phone? Is that a state law?

I think the headline might have changed since you posted. What should they damn well do?

They call out making spoofing harder, although they don't specify how.

It's a normal thing for people to sideload apps that are distributed through the play store - that's exactly what tools like Aurora do.

You are right that they are up to developers, but that's the problem. It should be up to users how they run their software on their hardware.

"Security" meaning "preventing users from using the devices they own in the way they want to use them" apparently.

This is exactly what DMCA was made to do.

Furness recommended the Nacc revisit the controversial decision, which had already been the subject of 900 complaints when she promised in June to inquire into the matter.

Following the inspector’s recommendation, the Nacc will now appoint an “independent eminent person” to deliberate afresh on a possible corruption investigation into robodebt.

The National Anti-Corruption Commission Inspector has announced she has launched a formal investigation into the regulator’s refusal to investigate six public officials referred by the Royal Commission into Robodebt.

For anyone missing the significance, the Inspector announced "looking into" complaints about the NACC decision months ago, but this is the first time the word "investigation" has been used.

The distinction is important because once a formal “investigation” is commenced the NACC Inspector has additional powers, including the power to obtain documents.

The inquest heard that due to shortages, only Officer B took a body camera that day, but did not wear it for any of the searches he conducted. He told the inquest his priority was “to get out of the car quickly due to the way Bradley was walking”.

If we ever want to be able to have a just police force, this sort of thing needs to be considered sufficient evidence of intent to commit a crime. Either you have a body camera on, or you are a civilian, not a cop

The whole the article is incredibly damning; an illegal stop, a "proactive policing" policy which can so obviously only ever lead to injustice, violation of the right to walk away, targeting without sufficient evidence, police lying about callouts on the radio
