ps: there are so many commercial CAs to choose from. some even make a decent attempt to verify your identity when you request a certificate. others will cheerfully sell you a cert for google.com or whatever you want. apart from that, you have the choice of having your private key secretly passed on to the CIA, NSA, Mossad, Iranian government hackers, or any other spook agency of your choice (if you can figure out who is owned by whom)...hell, ASIO may even have their own pet CA.
Last time I looked, ASIO were still fighting the Red Menace. I'd be more worried about ASIS and the DSD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Intelligence_Community
