Labor's News Bargaining Plan Faces Senate Block After US Anger The proposed news bargaining code in Australia has hit a roadblock in the Senate, following intense criticism from the United States.
The plan, aimed at forcing digital platforms like Google and Meta to pay for news content, has been modified in response to US concerns.
However, changes made to the original proposal have sparked fears that Labor is weakening its stance on tech giants paying fair commercial deals with Australian media outlets.
