I think in some sense this is good. Something like intellectual property rights, if you found the news and reported as one of first hand sources, then you should get paid for it (if you ask for it, because someone is using your work). Also I think Facebook should register as a news agency in Australia and charge news publishers if they re-post content from FB. This way FB also makes money

  Only if they pay their reporters (e.g. users) too.

> Facebook should register as a news agency in Australia This is not about "registering", there are specific guidelines that you must meet to be eligible to get paid by Google and Facebook as a part of this scheme. A key part is that you must be focused on producing "core news" and make like $150k annually from it. A sports-news-only org would not be eligible, under my understanding.
