A proposed News Bargaining Incentive stipulates that if tech giants do not reach relevant agreements, they will be taxed at 2.25% of their Australian revenue, with the funds allocated to news organizations to support the development of the Australian news industry. Australian Communications Minister Anika Wells said at a press conference: “More and more people are getting their news directly from Facebook, Google, and other platforms. We believe that large digital platforms should contribute to the news gathering and editing work that enriches their information flow and generates revenue—this is only fair and reasonable.” She stated: “Platforms should reach agreements with news organizations. If they refuse to cooperate, they will ultimately pay higher taxes.” U.S. President Donald Trump has always opposed imposing digital services taxes on American tech giants and has threatened to raise tariffs on countries that implement such taxes. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese responded at the same press conference: “Australia is a sovereign nation, and this government will make decisions based on national interests.”
