So at any point in time, atleast one government pushes for encryption backdoors. I can't wait to see the faces of these morons when the backdoor backfires on their own government secrets.

Australian Government information at the Secret level never touches the Internet.

Never say never. All it takes is one case of the encrypted data being outside a secure setting due to the 'human' factor, and then this mandated backdoor can be used to decrypt it.

Of course, they won't ever mandate a backdoor be added in their encryption system

That’ll be a different set of politicians by that point, and they will blame everyone but themselves.
