Damned if I can find confirmation online, spent far too long
searching for it now, but I get a clear impression from a report on
SBS news last night that this proposed legislation:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/02/terrorism-crackdown-laws-could-give-greater-power-to-block-australians-from-websites
Has been passed.

The part about Morrison nagging other, more powerful, leaders about
it is true at least. That definately implies that the Australian laws
have been passed, but I suppose you can't rule out hypocricy.
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/aug/25/g7-scott-morrison-to-push-for-action-against-online-terrorist-content

Assuming that it has passed, this sets up a terrible precedent for
government-controlled internet censorship. After all one man's
"freedom fighter" is another man's terrorist, and who knows how
blurry those lines might become in future conflicts which Australia
may be involved in?

Besides that, the post-Christchurch censorship shows how large sites
can be blocked due to only a single item of content. Archive.is, a
site that I've used a number of times before for decidedly
non-terrory purposes, is _still_ blocked on Telstra, for example. How
easy would it be for pollys to have sites that they don't like
examined closely to pick out one item that can be considered covered
by the new law, and thereby provide and excuse for blocking all of
it?
