OK, but the issue in Aus is that the Australian Gov proposed legislation proposes no cap or upper limit on the payments. This is completely in Murdoch's favour. News Limited is using our government as bargaining leverage for his US Based company, The same company that gives us Fox and Sky after Dark.
Both sides might be evil, but only one of them has bought our Government and has them doing their bidding for them.
This is the salient point. It favours big news publishers only, its protectionist giving Murdoch and Fairfax money they are not owed (to paraphrase one commentator).
