Of note is that the Government will be moving to pass legislation to amend it again this week, after inadvertently leaving in criminal penalties for those in breach of the 'right to disconnect'.

My only knowledge of Australian government comes from the TV show Utopia but this seems entirely on brand.

Utopia was one of the great political | civil service documentaries of the western world, up there with Yes, Minister and The Thick of It.
aha, thanks! Now that I know what to look for, I realize I could have found it by switching to the Bills & Legislation tab in the aph search results, which prunes out a few of the false-positives.
Jesus that’s unbelievable. How do you not just read your legislation and what can we sneak into Australian law without them watching?
