I guess the issue here is that it's the Australian government standing up for one American multinational against another American multinational. It's not really protectionism; it's more standard old fashioned corruption. I'm not sure if protectionist retaliation is the standard response to corruption. It's possible it becomes an option available in this case.

How thoughtful of them to take an interest /s. Murdock and company totally dominate Australian media. His roots and influence there are much deeper and more pervasive than in America.
