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.
