Meta-question: Obviously, the whole thing is rotten because of the secrecy. But is is better to do what Australia is doing, by making it a law which can at least be talked about, or doing it anyway, but covertly, like certain other five eyes countries (and beyond)? I don't really have an opinion or answer, just curious.

What Australia is doing is worse, because the actions can’t be talked about.

What the five eyes do is normal espionage. They often get away with it, but when they are uncovered their illegal actions aren’t covered by gag orders.
