News Media Bargaining Code / the "Google and Facebook killer legislation"

Despite the hype, I’m not convinced this is as bad as they are claiming.

That said, I’ve read the legislation and it reads to me as a solution in search of a problem with potential to be abused down the track. This is a tricky one with a lot of nuance so I’d welcome other views (currently preparing a press release but umming and ahhing over the details).

See for the draft copy of the code https://www.accc.gov.au/focus-areas/digital-platforms/news-media-bargaining-code
