1) If you are an Australian I'd be worried, because if this passes I'm pretty sure that the Australian Government will be quick to enact similar legislation under the guise of the AUS-US free-trade agreement to appease the copyright cartels and their own political egos as they finally have an excuse to implement the great firewall of Australia (which in turn will appease the Australia Christian Lobby). 2) This I don't know, but I do think it's time that we as consumers started boycotting the copyright bullies. Stop buying, watching, listening, reading and yes absolutely downloading (legally or otherwise) their stuff. It's time to take away their power. If you consume only copyleft materials then it won't matter how draconian they get on using copyrighted material* they will just further restrict who will consume it.
