Absolutely. That's a large part of the reason I want to move elsewhere. I love Australia, and am always thankful we don't live in a war or terrorism torn country, and, generally, live well, but I don't understand why we have such a "fuck the people" attitude when it comes to pretty much anything.
Goes far beyond border patrol demanding passwords to devices, and duplicating people's data with no just cause, but that's a rant for another day
