Setup 2 new SSID on my home system. One for the kids and one for us.

All devices moved to appropriate networks.
Old WiFi SSID deleted.

Clean your room or I'll turn off your WiFi

Queensland’s IT minister Mick de Brenni has urged the federal government not to use its newly created Australian Digital Council as a way to dilute state regulation.
 
He has also accused the Canberra of not consulting with state and territory governments prior to releasing its inaugural digital transformation strategy last month

So it seems that only Canberra is keen on it.

Also, with all the Prime Minister switching & dual citizenship dramas going on, panic policies seem to be the order of the day.
No one really knows if the same faces will be fronting parliament next week, so things need to be hastened.

Seems a bit short sighted to me but I haven't been keeping tabs on this to know all the ins and outs.

To us over here, Australia keeps sounding more and more like what we are told is wrong with places like Russia or China.

Well, the media does like to negatize everything.

The regular stuff that gets pushed on us is usually about Trump rage (his or about him), mass murders, and rioting hippies.

So MS fell off the Edge?

So who the heck are they going to attempt to fine if open source encryption is used?

A$50,000 for individuals who do not comply
Ca't get it out of the company, go for the low hanging fruit. The end user.

That or they'll create a custom OS for that backwater.

Hey! We resemble that remark!

I wonder when the US will follow suit. .

Probably soon after the next civil war.

Seems a bit short sighted to me but I haven't been keeping tabs on this to know all the ins and outs.

However, going by how much this has been pushed, someone needs some legal cover to do something ASAP.
It looks like it was started with good intentions "Catch the bad guys" but the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
