The obvious thing would be to just drop Australia as a market. That way they can keep playing with wooden cubes, and maybe lego, as per their politician's wishes.

.. Like the refound policy, it's not like big billionaire have any kind of obligation towards people's health and safety: they can model the world just about those "special" islands they party all time

Feels like if they were really concerned they should just block all politicians at this point.

Thank god for Australia, can always rely on them to one-up our stupid vague UK laws.

The worst part is it's probably started with good intentions, but then they base serious allegations on "media reports point to" and start using it as an excuse for more surveillance and ID verification.
