Honours

Sun Pegasus

gollark: It was rushed through because of "increased risk of terrorist attacks around Christmas" or something.
gollark: Alternatively they'll just not be based in Australia and hope that nobody notices the lack of backdoors in them.
gollark: I expect they'll be around but backdoored to death.
gollark: `Assistance and Access Bill`, i.e. "ONLY TERRORISTS WANT ENCRYPTION so add backdoors or we'll fine you".
gollark: The Australian government has managed to make a law which is simultaneously unethical, moronic and hurried through! This from the government which once claimed "the laws of Australia are more important than the laws of mathematics". Luckily I don't live there.
