Good. This has to hurt them in quite a major way before anything will be done about it. From my (possibly ignorant) perspective, the Australian government is a bunch of corrupt coal-industry loving dinosaurs who do not understand the first thing about tech and won't care about anything until it hurts their bottom line.

From an Australian perspective, I think you summed them up nicely. I’m still ropeable that Labor helped the government ram this through.

My company cut ties with Atlassian because of these laws - our only vendor with affiliation to AU.
