Now would be a good time to protest this by systematically denying Peter Dutton and the rest of these wankers access to any online service.

Sorry, due to your part in voting for that bill, you're now in breach of our terms. Please return your devices as well.

But what would you deny? All .gov.au? All .au? Maybe a BGP suitable leak? Whatever, it wouldn't last.

Just the MPs and targetting their social media accounts would be enough and it wouldn't have to be effective or long term, it just needs to create enough of a media storm to bring it to the attention of the general population.

Mentioning that they may need to shut down services in Australia due to the law might be enough to cause a backlash.
