Link to the draft law is below [0].

Quoted from that page:

>The code also includes a set of ‘minimum standards’ for:

>providing advance notice of changes to algorithmic ranking and presentation of news; appropriately recognising original news content; and

>providing information about how and when Google and Facebook make available user data collected through users’ interactions with news content.

This sounds great to me. Australia has a history of producing consumer friendly laws (although I am sure we have our share of bad laws on this), and I consider google to be working against my personal interests, so I think this law is probably good (for consumers and news media, but not google/facebook).
