I find it so discouraging. “The show.” You always get the outcry when things get markedly bad, shortsighted ‘solutions’ that are about optics rather than lasting change, and then things go along the same until the next high profile spate of murders/assaults.

Another worry is that laws like these may slip into a similar functions to KOSA and the other ‘child safety’ laws being brought in in America. Being misused to invade privacy and allow gating or scrubbing of any LGBTIA+ content or reproductive/sexual health information. I know Australia has its own fundie politicians.
