Another thing to add here is that the reason Russia and China have their own popular search engines is because they've been largely cut off from Western alternatives. If Australia is cut off this would encourage Australia to develop their own Google alterntaive which would probably be healthy for innovation and the tech sector in Australia. I guess they could always use DuckDuckGo or Bing, but as a European it would be great to see more Western countries developing their own alternatives to silicon valley tech. The fact Google thinks they can bully Australia like this is evidence that silicon valley has become too powerful and needs competetion.
