It's refreshing to feel us try and push the societal envelope again after two decades of stagnation. I only hope it doesn't go the way our proposed-but-torpedoed carbon emissions tax in the late 2000s and the butchered NBN rollout of the 2010s.

Opt out instead of a full ban? I can't believe Australia of all countries is the one enforcing user choice. EU should take notes.

Could the adults get that too?
