Has been passed as a bill from what I can tell, maybe not law as such, but I’m
not a lawyer so I am not sure, I’m sure somebody else can comment.
Quoted from their communication.
“As you may be aware, the legislation that underpins the Telecommunications
Sector Security Reforms (TSSR) received the Royal Assent yesterday, 18
September 2017.”

I don't think this is law yet, as it still has to pass the Reps?
I support the legislation. It's government's responsibility to protect our
national infrastructure. I'd have preferred the legislation go further, and
that there were obligations to protect the data plane. I doubt there's a
mandate even to compel use of RPF/BCP 38.
In practice, professional organisations will be little affected, because
frankly it will be a cold day in hell before government are aware leave alone
act on a vulnerability before secops have already closed the breach.
Kind regards

The government, via the AG has now kicked off “The Critical Infrastructure
Centre” to enforce their security agenda on your Carrier or Carriage Service
Provider Network.
You have 12 months to comply, as if we didn’t have enough to deal with already.
Should make for an interesting read in our spare time.
