A guy who got busted via the AFP & FBI's backdoored secure messaging app AN0M for "dealing with property reasonably suspected of being the proceeds of crime" had their trial date vacated because "South Australia's Court of Appeal had been asked to rule on the legality of the encrypted messaging app AN0M and the information intercepted by police". His lawyer reckons the evidence gained via that app may be inadmissible and regardless of the outcome, plans to challenge it in the High Court. This article by Barrister Edward Greaves explains in more detail. It could be interpreted that because AN0M is not a telecommunications network, just an Android app that sends a copy of the message to the AFP, that it doesn't meet the criteria for warrantless interception. I think - IANAL.
