TLDR:
- google has monopoly on search results.
- traditional news companies not making enough money, blame google.
- Australian government decides it knows what is best, regulate the monopoly.
I would love to hear some input from actual journalists. It's telling that in the whole 29 page draft, journalist is mentioned twice and consumer(as a natural person) is mentioned once[1]. From the draft, I don't get the feeling the Australian government is really interested in a healthy news media sector but rather, making the existing news media sector happy.
