That's not what the OAIC said. They said that the bills just say age, and that's how you interpret it. Given there is such a massive intrusion into people's lives who just want to be able to watch their streaming service, scroll the news or do whatever they want to do online, why didn't the government consult with the OAIC prior to releasing the bill?
