I think that this government knows exactly what it is doing with regards to tech laws in Australia, but the current government is serving needs other than the economic success of the tech industry in Australia. An example of this is the monopoly internet infrastructure project that was gutted: This project is an existential threat to the television and news media organisations that enabled the current government to be elected. Another example of this was the introduction of DNS filters to block sites that are commonly used for piracy: These sites are an existential threat to the television and news media organisations that enabled the current government to be elected. Given the history, it is fairly likely that this legislation is also being made to satify some third party interest.
