\tGoogle threatened to pull its search engine from Australia if the nation passes a law requiring the company to negotiate payment terms with local publishers to access their content.<\/p>\n

Melanie Silva, MD for Australia and New Zealand, told a Senate committee reviewing the plan Google would have “no real choice” but to pull its search services if it became law.<\/p>\n

Google published Silva’s comments in a blog: she stated the current proposal presents \u201cunmanageable financial and operational risk\u201d for the company, and pressed for an approach which allowed it to pay publishers without withdrawing its search services.<\/p>\n

In a blog, Peter Lewis, director of the Australia Institute\u2019s Centre for Responsible Technology said the comments are “part of a pattern of threatening behaviour that is chilling for anyone who values our democracy\u201d.<\/p>\n

Lewis noted the threat follows a “secret and cynical experiment” on Google users in recent weeks, where news had been withdrawn from its services without warning.<\/p>\n

Fair payment
\nThe government\u2019s proposal [1] is designed to ensure digital platforms agree to fair payment for accessing local news content.<\/p>\n

Last week, the US\u00a0government called for Australia to drop the move [2] and adopt\u00a0a voluntary code of conduct.<\/p>\n

In a submission earlier this week, Google argued the planned code\u00a0 would require it to pay all registered news businesses for merely having a link to their news content in search: “Such a requirement would destroy the business model of any search engine”.<\/p>\n
