Dunno if anyone has seen it yet...

Microsoft steams over open source Bill
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,8173918%255E15306,00.html

of course Microsoft aren't happy with it -

"Microsoft labelled the legislation "anti-competitive", and warned that 
it could damage the Australian software industry."

but, here's a golden quote -

"The reaction has amused the originator of the legislative push, South 
Australian MLC Ian Gilfilian.

"That means we must be on the right track," he said. "You're getting a 
monopoly screaming hurt before the first blow has landed. And I don't 
blame them -- I think they will lose by quite a significant percentage." "
