Good post on the Australia social media ban. I too had dismissed it as pointless, but now, like you "after reading the explanatory memorandum, I am not so sure". For a bill to explicitly say that its doesn't aim/hope for 100% compliance, that must be a first! First in honesty and realism.
While scrapping Chip import restrictions is a welcome step, there is no dearth of bad ideas. For instance, recent GST Council recommendations for rate rationalisation. Instead of simplifying the confusing slab structure, an additional 35% rate has been proposed! One could simply predict the consequences.
The marketplace of ideas is still underserved. This newsletter and many such avenues are needed to shift the Overton Window.
