You can't force non-citizens, obviously, since non-citizens are not under Australian jurisdiction.

If they could, then this would create a problem of national security for other countries.

But yes, the Five Eyes countries can use Australia for their wiretapping.

It wouldn't be the first time someone would be extradited to a country they've never even visited.

Jurisdiction sets no limits to itself, but to other jurisdictions. Australia can request extradition of anyone from anywhere, then it's up to that jurisdiction to decide whether to comply, which may or may not be situational. If the country believes it's a problem, then it would deny the request.
