I'm happy to take on notice the matter that the member has raised and raise that in a discussion with the AFP if indeed that is necessary. I would also only note this—that is, encryption is a tool being used by terrorists, organised criminals and paedophile rings, and it is something we must get ahead of by ensuring that the police, our security agencies and all of our agencies that are engaged at state and federal level have the tools they need to make this stop.
