How about glass?
Specifically, trinitite.
Cuz everyone is about to see lots of it.
The change in OTA was going from analog (NTSC) to digital (ATSC) signals. They operate on a different frequency range and offer higher bandwidth.
So, rabbit ears still work on for digital OTA TV on a TV with a digital receiver (any TV made since 2010 basically).
There are more specialized designs for different use cases.
In a pinch, I have used a hobby pin. An actual bobby pin. And it could pick up digital signals.
An antenna is an antenna. Everything is just radiowaves until it is received. The processing is done on the TV. But, the shape, size and material do affect how much is received or reflected or missed.
It's all ratios as far as frequency reception. The materials affect the electrical conductivity and signal strength. So, you can't make a wooden antenna, but any conducting metal would work. Some better than others. But copper is still the best aside from gold.
This is a good not really beginner article
If this bill gets through house and senate , the only hope is the GG refuses to give royal assent.
People and gentlepeople, if you've never called or written a member of government before, it is surprisingly simple.
And sometimes effective.
Trying to write each and ever MP and senator is affect change is unlikely.
If we all focus on pleading, begging, demanding, the GG do what is her constitutional duty and refuse to give this bill, in any form, the royal assent it requires to become law.

From our constitution:
Royal Assent to Bills, etc.
55 Where a Bill passed by the Houses of the Parliament is presented to the Governor General for the Queen’s Assent, he shall declare, according to his Discretion, but subject to the Provisions of this Act and to Her Majesty’s Instructions, either that he assents thereto in the Queen’s Name, or that he withholds the Queen’s Assent, or that he reserves the Bill for the Signification of the Queen’s Pleasure.
