Sure, your business might have to bend to the will of Brandis, but
WhatsApp, Viber and other overseas based services that the turrrusts use
will just scoff at our laws, mutter "morons", and continue on their merry
way.

Why do the pollies continue to live in a fantasy world where Australian law
applies to foreign entities with no presence here? (Ref: new foreign GST)

it Moore's law, technical advances, and the march of time, it's inevitable

As MMC states, the pollies have to first be interested in public debate and
making decisions based on this. All discussion to date around these areas
is not about evolving policy and the like, but just brushing off the
public's concerns.
Notice how every interview is about them defending a retarded policy,
rather than how they are evolving them based on input..?
