The government has agreed to proposals that would allow Australians to opt out of targeted advertising, require search engines to "de-index" certain information about them, and draw small businesses into Australia's privacy scheme.
Related material, not all as optimistic as the ABC news article:
The title is misleading, the law will not let you to “opt out of advertising” completely but from using your private data for targeted advertising. So it’s a progress on better privacy but the best solution still seems to be using uBlock Origin with proper subscriptions to just block all the ads and tracking scripts.
