Fucking good summary. Plenty of people would be quick to argue that the spanner the liberal party threw into the building of the NBN had nothing to do with the fact that it was going to give the numerous streaming services an advantage in competing with the dated and very expensive model of pay TV services Murdoch was running. I personally can't see any other reason that the liberal party tried to keep us well behind the times with technology.

And while I do support the idea that Google and other mega companies pay taxes on the profits they generate from advertising. This isn't about taxation dollars. It's about profit generation for media moguls.

Pretty sure it is.
Just searched the result. 5g data transfer maximum speed is 10 gigabits per second. Fibre optics is 500 gigabits per second.

Aren’t you talking about nbn speeds vs 5G speeds. I haven’t googled as rarely do. Im probably wrong but a staunch nerd at work was telling me 5G was faster and cheaper

The NBN was going to be completely run on fibre optics. The liberal model has the majority of the network running on fibre optics, but with a huge portion of houses relying on copper to node which slows things down massively.

Yeah, it's a bit stupid though. The news articles are getting clicks because they appear on Google. So Google should probably get paid for it, not the other way around.

Google could always just block news websites for Australia and basically screw everyone.

Yeah ok. I thought I heard European countries had already won compensation for the same thing. So it’s not like it’s us setting a new trend here. We’re just catching up?

Google have already made deals with other nations.

What the government is doing here is completely illogical (they may have a point with Facebook but not a simple search engine).

With the Google thing its purely to put more money in Murdoch's pockets. Proaganda costs policy
