Australia is a highly compliant/obedient society. It’s also highly litigious, lots of fines for anything and anything. It’s the defamation capital of the world.
Yes this will be enforced, it’ll be enforced selectively against critics of the current government. There is a video of the announcement with the current PM grinning and smirking in the background like a little kid when this is discussed https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/r3qh1m/the_way_scomo_is_smirking_through_this_press/.
The current pm is coming under a lot of criticism recently as well as other mp’s. There’s an election coming up in May so this is convenient timing. Recently a popular YouTube comedian / journalist had the anti terror police let loose on him for criticising mp’s with accusations of corruption. https://www.michaelwest.com.au/tamed-estate-arrest-of-friendlyjordies-producer-attests-to-dangerous-state-of-democracy/
Australia has no bill of rights for its citizens and the current government seem extremely self serving for personal gain.
The new Amazon documentary Burning about the 2019 bushfires goes on bit of an attack of the current Australian PM.
Australia is still very much the “Lucky country” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lucky_Country
