I don’t understand where you are getting this from. This is not stopping the scraping of news sites that do not participate, so it cannot be payment for scraping or showing the site in search results. It fulfills basically none of the requirements of the law. This is not letting the news sites name their price. I do not think there is any promise that every news org is guaranteed to be able to participate. This is not giving them the advance info on algorithm changes. And Australia is not the first country they rolled this out in. This already exists elsewhere, in countries that did not try to come up with laws so Draconian that Google threatened to leave. I bet that Murdoch etc do not consider this any kind of victory. They will continue pressing for the law.
