Australian Senate passes encryption bypass laws

IANAL, but ...

Programmers subject to Australian law will (once this bill receives the Governor General's signature) now face jail time if they refuse to subvert the security of software they develop on the demand of state police, federal police, anti-corruption agencies, or security agencies.

Similarly, device manufacturers and communications providers.

You cannot reveal that you've been issued with this demand, nor can you say that you have not (in an apparent attempt to criminalize "warrant canaries").

There's also an attempt to bring any services that have Australian customers under the scope of this law, where service explicitly can mean "website". So I guess if your country has an extradition treaty with Australia, you might want to check with a lawyer.

I kinda hope that every major website, software vendor, and hardware vendor basically refuses to do business with Australians now. I don't know what else will force this to be repealed.
