Aussie here, I don't think that this is a bad move at all. The meta glasses are at a price point that makes them rarely seen in the wild, however Kmart (yes it still exists here, but different owners) has recently had a sale of $20 "recording glasses" that can easily have their recording LED turned off and with a few modifications you wouldn't even know they had a camera.
I can understand them doing this in government facilities, as some won't even allow you to have your phone in certain spaces.
I do think with tigher guardrails (detection of environments, like if a set of meta glasses enter a restroom or what looks like a restroom it should disable recording entirely.) it could be allowed but we really don't need to encourage kids that secret recordings are ok.
