Maybe I was looking at an older version of the law. The version posted at the top only requires non-differentiation -- that Google cannot decline to index a business because it requires payment. So Google would have to stop indexing news in Australia altogether, but then could avoid payment. That being said, I have seen reporting before that suggests that delisting news, even all news, would not be sufficient to avoid paying under the law.
