I am not a lawyer. But, I think we can all agree the track record for the Attorney General in Australia fucking it up to coin a phrase, is remarkably high.

so This law gave the government the power to do just that. Is in my non-lawyer opinion, HIGHLY contestable. I would expect somebody like Atlassian to do just that: take it up to them, pony up, and contest the legality of this.

An employee has liabilities for things done to their employers code which causes material harm. I think the canary in the mine would be huge here: resign, do not cause your employers product to be backdoored, you cannot be obligated to introduce bugs.
