It's not a fair ask, because Google were also not allowed to simply withdraw from displaying news. The whole thing was a shakedown. Initial drafts didn't include the public broadcaster ABC or SBS and only benefited the commercial entities.

What's the current state of play, can the ABC and SBS do deals with Google and Facebook to get a return on their content?

Why yes, yes they can.
