I have no idea how the Australian government expects to enable to compel US companies to do anything at all, aside from threatening their access to the (tiny) Australian market. I'm hopeful that this bill will result in the withdrawal of said companies from the Australian market, and maybe then the government will realize this bill was a bad idea.

The government won't care if those companies withdraw. Our citizens will absolutely care they can no longer Gmail and Whatsapp and will vote them out at the next election. But that happens every 3 years anyway, so it won't make a difference to the politicians.
