"Pay for what you use" isn't a tax. Also, AFAIK the government gets none of this money, but I might be wrong on that.

- vermilingua 6y agoThe government gets this money back in a) “business lunches”, gifts, etc; b) guaranteed industry “jobs” when their political careers end, which is far in the future due to; c) endless re-elections, as the entire media in this country exists as a Liberal Party PR firm.

- mcv 6y agoYou're right, it's not a tax it's an involuntary contract. Google is required to get a license to link to these news sites, and isn't allowed not to link to them or abandon the whole concept of linking to Australian news sites. It violates every concept of free trade and free enterprise. I'm all for sensible regulation and taxing big corporations, but this doesn't sound like that.
