The Australian government has announced a news bargaining incentive, meaning social media giants must strike new deals and pay media companies for news content in a bid to maintain public interest journalism.
Communications Minister Michelle Rowland claims this announcement is about “backing Australian journalism” and “supporting the health” of Australian democracy.
“The news bargaining incentive is critical to ensuring digital platforms contribute to the sustainability of journalism in Australia,” she said.

Holy chit 😳
To destroy Alternative view's or opinions?
This is Anti Semitic..
People are waking up to mainstream propaganda, so they aren't making as much money through advertising, so the government wants to bill social media for that loss in revenue 🤔🤔🤔.
Am I hearing that correctly 🤔.
Gov laws concerning mis and disinformation? Eff off you overpaid slug.
News Media is a Scam

Parties can negotiate their own deal. Good. Everybody needs to be paid for their goods/services. Good.
Its too late, this creep has taken over the Children's Mind, and infected it with LA Merican Blasthemy. Now, the Government is pretending to care.

I was being scammed by Optus and had a six month battle with them involving the ombudsman and then Roland who basically suggested that I might be better off using a phone box lol
Government is out to lunch yp 😅
Now see if Albo and his corrupt bunch of Labor liars will stop giving our G A S away for free of charge to then only buy it back at an inflated prices that the mainstream media choose to totally ignore . Dinosaur mainstream ch in ese styled controlled media is no longer trusted in Australia .

Does this mean that!:
Australia's Communications Minister Rowlland!; is going to GET RID OF the ABC, SBS, and NITV!
Because HER OWN outlined REQUIREMENT'S of Australian Media BROADCASTING ENTITIES, DEMANDS IT!
In my opinion, IT'S A MUST!
The above Mentioned Government Media Outlets, under her Verbalised Setout requirements!
ALREADY Disqualifies them because they ONLY SHOW, PRINT, and PRODUCE BIASED ONESIDED Leftist Views, on EVERY One of Their ARTICLE'S!!
What A Relief to the Australian People's hip pockets, gone $ 1B Wasted Expenditure!, and Becomes Savings too Governments Budget!
More delusional and incompetent decision making from the Australian government. The social media giants will simply refuse to pay and Australian media will shoot itself in the foot.
Pathetic. Dinosaur media now need handouts ffs 😂
Pay for our .gov.au approved propaganda
What a pitiful government.
Do they get a refund when it is faulty.
There is the very much larger URGENT ISSUE!! Why hasn't anyone addressed the worldwide use of other names in media? I mean around 90% of people on t.v or in media of any type use other names that are not legal names.
Good … and I hope immediately Meta and Alphabet just turn the switch of to Australia
This will lead to Australian news content being blocked on social media….and links on Australian news removed off Google. Meta won't pay….
Meta just flicked the V's to Albo lol
