An Australian Clipper!

Does anyone know if there is any proposals (whether tentative or as a bill) to introduce some equivalent of Clipper into Australia. I have only heard about it when my cryptology lecturer alluded to it. When I pressed him further, he said that he didn't have any hard information, but noted that the Australian government were looking at the American Clipper proposal with some interest. I find this very disquieting. Any comments or information would be appreciated. Thank you. Peter Murphy. (pkm@axiom.uq.oz.au)
