"To any economist, the point of competition policy is to encourage competition.
In this case, either more digital platform options for consumers, or more news
content options.
But the government’s legislation seems to be uniquely designed to deliver
neither.
The code allows news organisations to negotiate with large digital platforms
about things such as how their algorithms work to prioritise content, and
money.
And money is what it is really all about. The news organisations want more of
it, large digital platforms have it. It’s that simple."
