This legislation has support from both major parties, it's set to pass either this week or next. I don't know why Google, Facebook, Tesla, Microsoft, Atlassian and other big tech companies with investments in Australia don't push back. Nothing pressures Australian politicians more than an advertising campaign. The mineral resources industry spent just $8m on advertising to prevent a new mining tax that would have cost them several billion dollars. Better yet, as the Government is currently being held together by a few minority seats just spend a few hundred thousand in the most at risk seats. That alone would be enough to completely abandon or water down this legislation.
