It'll just mean every Australian will have to provide ID and lose the ability to remain anonymous online - no biggie!

I think it's necessary. Bots and trolls are already ruining online conversations.
I envision a state run identity provider which provides a limited number of non-resolvable identires to you. E.g. you log in with your personal identification card, then the website knows you as <some guid>. Your identity can only be resolved on court, e.g. if you commit online fraud.

Requiring everyone to give up their rights to online privacy is an incredibly drastic solution to this problem, and it's not clear that it would even work very well.

Nobody is giving up any right. There is no right to be anonymous in a social network for billions of people

You don't give up any right for privacy - your identity is opaque to all except the state agency running the identity service.

You must be mistaken, these bots and trolls are largely run by the very states that you trust to protect your communications.
