"AFACT rebranded as the Australian Screen Association, and apparently
has been very busy pumping new Australian Attorney General George
Brandis full of misleading information and pure propaganda. We recently
noted that Brandis was supporting website blocking and three strikes
like programs, despite them failing elsewhere."

Once again I'm disappointed but not surprised.  Australian
Attorneys-General almost always value the interests of corporations and
law enforcement over those of the Australian public.  Here's Senator
Scott Ludlam questioning Attorney-General Brandis about this issue:
