This bill is not, as the Greens keep insisting, concerned with geoblocking. As the communications minister pointed out and as the Attorney-General's Department has previously advised committees of this parliament, general geoblocking practices are not protected as technological protection measures under the Copyright Act. As a consequence, these amendments are not necessary.
