Yeah to be honest, if I hear about a law in Australia that affects technology, my default position is that it’s probably a bad one. That’s a stance I’ve developed thanks to long experience of it mostly being the case that our tech laws are dumb.

A more recent example: the News Media Bargaining Code. Literally requiring Google to pay Murdoch’s news outlets for sending traffic to them. If there was any sensible financial transaction, it would be the other way around.

Or for something under the Labor Government, the social media minimum age laws, which were rammed through without time for real public consultation or debate in Parliament.
