Assuming it could be proven, surely? And there have to be limitations as to how far an individual could go as to subterfuge, so if your company enforces a 2-person code review and there aren't other authorized Australian nationals at hand, you could point at process preventing you from doing so without others' knowledge (how naive this defense is, I have no idea)

The obfuscated C coding contest shows that you probably won't catch backdoors with code reviews

I bet Zero day backdoors are the retirement plan of half the security relevant coders here.

Good luck getting health care.

Any australian working in the US that is able to obtain PR or citizenship likely has a well paid job that provides health insurance. While I feel for the folks in the US without coverage, lack of access to affordable health care does not really apply to employed, skilled immigrants. In my experience US health care is the best on the planet, its also the most expensive. From my perspective, US health care is way above…

Anecdotally calling something the best on the planet is absurd. Have you tried every health care system, or simply believe USA #1?

Australia has a very high standard health care system. Probably on a par with the UK and the U.S.

Given that insurance companies will soon be excluding "pre-existing conditions", there's a good chance you can't get insurance under a corporate plan anyway.
