What the parent doesn't explicitly mention is that there is a government inquiry open RIGHT NOW. You have to get your submissions in by 10th of September (5 days time). Every Australian here needs to make a submission (please).
The parent's link, allows you to post a boilerplate submission with a single click. Far better to write and email your own submission, as form letters tend to get aggregated into one during evaluation. Your own submission only has to be a few lines, even if it just paraphrases a form submission. Uniqueness counts over bulk submissions.
Less time critically, you also need to write to or call your federal MP, but I'd suggest that a personal submission to the inquiry is the most "bang for buck".
Speaking of The Juice Media, I recommend watching their last Rap News, "Fate of the INTERNET - Feat. Dan Bull"[1]. It does a very good job summarizing the power struggle over the internet.
The real question’s not which one of these paths to chase;
but whether you can pursue them all, in a balanced way,
so that they keep each other in check with restraint
without letting any one of them dominate.
Decentralize and federate everything, and it becomes very difficult to even propose crap like this FVEY backdoor stupidity. If the protocol de facto forces everyone to act as peers instead of relying on central points of failure, abuse of power at any one point has limited reach.
"Reasonable and Appropriate" indeed. Funny how satirical pieces like these oft act as the best ways for the general public to understand the scope of proposed changes by a government (or lobbying efforts by companies or NGOs) - see also John Oliver, Colbert, et al.
