Also very relevant, ACCC’s response to Google’s open letter: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24185374 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24185374
(They basically said, “Google is engaging in a FUD campaign here, making various claims about the effects of the legislation, some of which are probably not true and some of which are flat-out lies”, only they said it slightly more politely—but only slightly, definitely more bluntly than is commonly the case in such things. I read much of the draft legislation and found that it exactly matched ACCC’s position expressed in that response, though small parts of Google’s position on the purpose of the legislation and what it may lead to were also reasonable.)
