Would an Australian employee of 1Password be forced to lie to us and do something that we would definitely object to?
We do not, at this point, know whether it will be necessary or useful to place extra monitoring on people working for 1Password who may be subject to Australian laws.
So not only does this idiotic law destroy the Australian software industry, it could prevent Australians from being hired outside Australia. Someone or some group in the Liberal/National Party (the current government here in Australia) really, really, really hates developers.
Edit. Time for some Aussie geek civil disobedience I think.
Edit 2. We have a huge number of Aussie developers here on HN. Let's use this to organise some sort of protest. Either that or we will all be off to Centrelink.
