It feels like this is a coordinated ‘long game’ to banning vpns. Kids bypass ‘safety controls’ using a vpn, therefore vpn must be banned to keep kids safe

It is, and the purpose is to prepare for war. In each country the excuse is different, but in all of them people are getting an everincreasing restriction on internet use. See UK for reference

Would like to see how many companies function without VPN ...

Couldn't do my job without VPN/Wireguard

They would blacklist consumer VPN IPs and block payments to them, not prevent you from logging in to a corp network.

It's rather easy to setup a VPS with a VPN.

so that law would again pretty much accomplish nothing

Politicians and IT... Always a dream team

Yeah but you forget, the laws of mathematics don’t apply here.

So clearly Australia has some strong influence such that they could pull this off!

Australia can still require VPS providers to log IPs. This is the country with the backdooring law, common sense does not apply seemingly.
