Please do put a submission into Australia's currently open inquiry into the Right to Repair, being run by the Productivity Commission! Submissions are due by Friday 23rd of July.
They are after real world information and examples about how the Right to Repair is being nobbled by current laws, and they will recommend changes to Australia's law. So far they are leaning towards copyright exemptions for service material, such as manuals, and the removal of "Technical Protection Measures".
The Australian Government frequently implements Productivity Commission recommendations, so this is a real opportunity for positive change to Australia's laws (which might also have international flow ons). Please do make a thoughtful submission!
