Those fines are pretty small considering the size of those companies.
Is it just me, or is it Ironic that most government agencies in 
Australia are now using AWS. But I guess at least they went and setup an 
Au company.
The worst ones are the ones who use US based companies to host various 
sites.
They won't even be affected by the data retention laws, and yet 
Australian providers will need to increase the cost of hosting to cover 
the increased costs.
Even with the grants program.
