Just some relevant context to that page, the person there left Google and is now running for office, so I would think twice about the claims they make.

Google is among the highest spending tech lobbyists.

I'm not sure how that's relevant to what I said? Just because Google lobbies doesn't mean this person doesn't have ulterior motives for making a whole page attacking Google.

I'm sorry I should have been clearer.

My point was Google has a lot to lose and lie about, too. Frankly, this letter by Google Australia comes off as a scare tactic than a honest plea.
