I've read articles by smart people cheering the legislation, but this issue isn't what Australia should be tackling when it comes to Google, and if this stupid legislation turns out to be a failure, then it sets a precedent that legislating against Google may fail, and therefore future Governments may avoid the acting on the actual issues that Google should be held to account for (consumer privacy, tax setups).
The fact the Australian Government is going after this issue makes it depressingly obvious how deeply the Liberal Government is in Rupert Murdoch's pocket. And it's not like Rupert or News Corp are even Australian (Rupert revoked Australian citizenship to become an American citizen).
Fight the correct fight for god's sake.
