eSafety Commissioner annoyed that government knocked back mandatory online age verification

In a refreshing and unusual instance of common-sense last week, the Australian government decided not to adopt strict age verification for online services like some states in the USA have already implemented. This appears to have pissed off eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant, who put out a press release to scare/remind us that "perpetrators were sliding into DMs on online games and social media to groom children to perform sexually explicit acts via in-built cameras on smart devices" and telling the ABC that her job now is to "make sure that we can get some industry to sign off on some robust codes".
