Federal agencies will be given new powers to stop online paedophiles and hackers, under the government’s $1.6 billion cybersecurity strategy.

The Australian Federal Police will be given $88 million to bolster its cyber capabilities, including world-first legislation allowing AFP officers to break into computer networks in Australia and catch criminals on the dark web.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the new powers were needed to “track criminals in the darkest corners of the internet to protect our families and children”. Operators of critical infrastructure including power plants, telecoms and ports, will also be given $66 million to assess any vulnerabilities in their networks to better fend off cyber-attacks.

Translation. Feds given more powers to spy on citizens by claiming they can stop more pedophiles and terrorists with extra powers. Where are all the ones they have caught with their last lot of increased powers?

Stop the hacking away at online privacy and up the penalties for pedophiles. Castration by rapid disassembly involving a motor vehicle and piano wire should be for acts of assault and chemical castration for those who 'just' watch. Scare the bejesus out of the them.

So, you telling me, that the Pedofile Government, spend $1.6bn for cybersecurity to stop Pedos? 🤣🤣

They should put the same effort into shithouse state governments 😡🖕🏼
