It's usually a mixed bag with Australian news, TBH.

"LABOR WINS! HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS WILL CONTINUE!"

*yaaaaaaay

"They're dropping climate goals."

*booooooo

"THEY'RE HOLDING OFFICIALS RESPONSIBLE FOR CRIMES AND CORRUPTION! RESTRICTING FOREIGN INFLUENCE!"

*yaaaaaaay

"We're going to kill every koala and bathe in their blood."

*booooooo

Strictly speaking I think they're being sued for not forcing it on their customers. If it had been genuinely a change in service offerings that everyone was forced to accept I think they would have been in the clear, but resorting to trickery instead of force is a no-no.
