This sounds like a very reasonable approach, hopefully this idea will spread to other countries.

Oops, I posted my comment as AC. Here it is again (I know many people ignore AC posts completely):

How is this reasonable? If I'm reading the summary correctly, Australia is saying there will be no actual penalty for copyright infringement, so everyone might as well pirate everything, and at worst they'll have to buy what they pirated.

If there's no penalty beyond the price of a legitimate purchase, there's no reason not to pirate everything.
