It's sad to think that with these laws being passed, regardless of what position you take, that we still don't have any Fair Use provisions in Australia. There was even a discussion paper [http://www.alrc.gov.au/publications/4-case-fair-use-australi...] put forward by our Law Reform Commission suggesting this. I would have though the productivity benefits associated with education and innovation alone would make this a no brainer


I believe one of the only amendments to this bill that got through was a requirement that Tony Abbott provide a formal response to that paper.
