So far it seems like only press statements have been released.
ABC is reporting some small tweaks to the law (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02-23/facebook-reverses-news-ban-on-australian-sites-media-code/13173984 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02-23/facebook-reverses-new...)
1. Introduction of a good faith mediation period prior to compulsory arbitration
2. Introduction of a clause requiring the treasurer to consider existing deals before applying the code.
Basically it seems like FB have agreed to pay media companies but with a stronger hand in negotiations.
