I'm more suspicious of the fact that the tech community shat all over the EU Copyright Directive, calling the EUCD's news aggregation rights a "link tax", when the ACCC's proposed code goes further and stricter than EUCD Article 15.

Either techies suddenly think that the EU was right, their opinion of Google massively cratered in a year and a half's time, or they have an unreasonable love affair with Australian news companies.
