Unfortunately, I think google has all the leverage here. I don't other industries will stand with the news orgs, and will pressure the govt. if they start losing revenue because google/fb isn't servicing australia.

I don’t think i’d say “unfortunately”, the bill seems like it was written by someone who has never used the internet

This bill is completely insane (regardless of its intent), so it's hard to fault Google here.
