[AusNOG] More legislative interventions

[Mark Newton]

This passed the Senate after 90 seconds of debate without the bill itself being made available to MPs last night.

It passed the House today after about four minutes of debate with no crossbenchers being allowed to speak.

It’ll receive royal assent and become law, probably tomorrow.

But sure, take their consultation processes seriously, acknowledge the validity of the system, treat them with respect, never go for their jugular, join industry associations who tread softly and quietly and make-nice lest anyone in government become offended. Just like always. I’m sure one day they’ll all see the light and stop kicking the internet industry in the face.

One day.
