As an Australian Dev living in the U.K. this is absolutely terrifying. I'm compelled to somehow deploy a backdoor at whatever company I'm working for if they have a single Australian user on threat of jail time???

You are not bound to the laws of Australia in the UK. Foreign nationals in Australia are. That being said, this is coming to the UK too.

Yes he is, and at risk of a felony charge waiting for him if he returns to Aus. Not sure about extradition but I assume that could be on the table too.
