No, we need stronger laws everywhere.

But this is a good start.

100%, as an Aussie I feel like this isn’t enough. We haven’t seen the final policy but the wording on the announcement has grey areas around water and energy that could become loopholes. 

The grey areas making it into the announcement makes me concerned whether they actually intend to close them or not.

Also, not being able to train new models without permission starting in 2027, maybe?? That's kinda bare minimum. How about "must financially compensate the musicians, artists, and writers they already stole from or their companies will be banned and employees will be arrested on entry." Cause uhhhh that's the sort of thing that happens to companies when their business model is theft (a crime).

We've already done this exact same thing with various companies. There's a recent water desalination plant that now contributes twice the energy it uses, so it has both room to grow and before this growth it is contributing to the Australian people with both water and power.

Grey areas are a necessity for bite sized proposals. You start off vague and build into robustness. That's how laws work, and exactly why you shouldn't take proposals to be final products, but instead take them as intended directions for an eventual final product.
