Here is a quote from the Wikipedia article:

   It is also apparent that the recently concluded Australia-United States
   Free Trade Agreement embodies a new bilateral policy of safeguarding
   software interests abroad. Whilst Griffiths' indictment was issued before
   AUSFTA-induced amendments were enacted to harmonise the Australian Copyright
   Act, his extradition, effectively overriding the principle of national
   treatment, was put into effect after the free trade agreement was signed.
   This seriously puts into question the raison d'etre of the AUSFTA.
