  Some way to go, if at all. A Bill needs to be written, voted on, passed into Law and implemented .. all steps with hurdles.

  How does one prove their age? Perhaps dox themselves online?

  Note: this is definitely not a ploy by Rupert Murdoch to better control Australian media by preventing access to alternatives. Nope. Never seen anything like that happen before.
