I'm a little bit surprised that it's possible to legislate that Google can't just drop Australian news sites. It's such a specific detail into a private company's operational decisions. It appears as a highly personal, directed attack. What are the limits of control that the Australian Government has over the operations of private companies? It also seems to be an illogical request: You must include Australian News sites in search, and you must pay for the privilege to do so. And Australian technologists and entrepreneurs are leaving the country in droves due to lack of opportunity you say? (pre COVID of course)
