  tl;dr: The ‘Assistance and Access’ bill proposes three new powers for the Australian government.

  1. The ability to make a voluntary request for assistance from a company to get information.

  2. To be able to demand assistance from a company in getting information.

  3. To build new ‘backdoor features’ into the technology, which compromises user encryption.

  Narrowing the focus of implications of this to DApps seems, err, strange..
