Panel 1
Alex stands outside a bustling Sydney government office, holding a pair of smart glasses. Sam, walking by, looks at Alex with a deadpan expression.
Alex: Hey Sam, I heard we might not be able to wear these in government buildings anymore!
Panel 2
Sam: Yeah, they're worried about privacy and security. But don't worry, I'm sure they'll come up with a way to make them work.
Panel 3
Robin, holding a newspaper with a headline "Smart Glasses Ban?!", bursts into the scene, waving the paper excitedly. Alex (grinning)
Robin: Guys, guess what? I just found a loophole! If you wear these as sunglasses, they're not technically 'smart glasses'!
Alex: That’s brilliant, Robin! We’ll just call them 'clever shades'!
