Australia looks to deny encryption to terrorists

Looks like you're encrypted.

If you're a terrorist we must deny you your encryption.

We'll need to break that encryption to check if you're a terrorist.

If you're not a terrorist we'll just pretend the whole thing never happened (until you send your next encrypted message).

The Australian government has yet to publicly disclose how its plans would be implemented

This should be a huge red flag. I don't see any way for them to take encryption away from terrorists, but not the public.
This sounds a lot like a 'patriot act' type of move. You know, where they claim it's about terrorism, but it only ever gets used against regular citizens.

Classified national security studies reveal that future terrorists can be identified by objections of this nature: know that in our righteous vigilance we are committed to denying terrorists all past, present and future encryption.
