I thought the problem was that people don't click through to the newspaper, that articles are read on Google and Facebook somewhere.

I agree that we should also not be writing laws that just protect large news organizations, we should write them to protect everybody.

Yes, it really sounds dodgy to me that the Treasurer is arbitrarily choosing companies that are subject to this law, and arbitrarily choosing which companies benefit from it.

The ABC and SBS don't qualify as news businesses. That says it all really.
