They have to. They aren't allowed to touch or open your bags without your say so. You open it for them, they they ask if they can look inside.
According to the Australian screening SOP, the only screening process you agree to upon arriving at the checkpoint is the baggage xray and WTMD. Anything beyond that requires your verbal permission.
This bill changes that to add MMW to the same assumed pre acceptance as the WTMD.
