The Australian newspapers are able to do this because a) they care that their own are being targeted, and b) they have leverage via circulation.
Contrast this to the Australian IT industry that could have banded together during the initial AABill "discussion" and simultaneously covered their frontpages with info to their users, protesting the draconian legislation.
Apart from Atlassian, nobody big decided they wanted to be apart of that. And now we've made our entire industry a "systemic weakness" into our user's computers and networks.
I still wonder when foreigners will stop buying from Australian companies because we're essentially a backdoor into any computer system within our reach. Not even the CCP have the powers now granted to Australian authorities.
The Australian IT industry needs a lobby group, and it needs it now.

Not only that, but it weakens Australia's ability to pressure the SE Asian countries that are getting more authoritarian.
Telling Cambodia that it needs a free press and needs to stop spying on its people is now basically impossible for any Australian diplomat.
