So after everybody saying the Liberals were going to lose this fight, Google flinched.

I mean, I'm still not sure this is good policy but it is nice to see the haters proven wrong.

Sometimes things don't work but I'd rather see moves being made that end up not working than no moves made at all (because they may not work).

Whether contributions are sent business to business by way of a privately agreed scheme, or distributed by governments from tax revenue, reporting independence is surely obliterated.

More like following in the footsteps of the AUS.

The US would never (federally) pass a law like this that forces rich companies to actually pay for shit they make money from.
