It's absolutely fucking flabbergasting that that hasn't always been the case, everywhere. I mean, WTF: the word "theft" is right there in the damn name!

I'll believe it when I see a CEO extradited to Aus for it.
Cool, but I doubt anyone will actually see jail time. Maybe a fall guy, at best.
There were recently a few egregious cases that were heavily fined. I suspect that if they were prosecuted with these new laws the outcome would be prison, but I'm not a lawyer and I don't pretend to be one on the Internet.

Oh, but that's but a ten year long accident, nothing deliberate /s
