| Tech giants Facebook and Apple say they will resist the Turnbull government's push for them to decrypt messages and hand them over to law enforcement agencies, as they already provide as much help as they can.
The government wants to work with tech companies to ensure police and security officials can access the encrypted messages of criminals and terrorists.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Friday said technology companies such as Facebook and Apple need to "face up to their responsibility" to help prevent terrorism and solve crimes.
Acknowledging "this is not without some difficulty", Mr Turnbull said the government would legislate to force companies to provide encrypted communications requested by the police and other agencies.
