Woah, the Copyright Amendment Bill 2026 passed the Senate today meaning Australia will very soon (the day after it receives the Royal Assent) have a scheme limiting remedies available when users use orphan works (copyright materials for which the copyright owner cannot be identified or located). This has been a long time coming so it is amazing to see it pass!
