Issue between Meta and Australian news content has been happening ‘for a long time’

Shadow Communications Minister David Coleman says the issue between Meta and Australian news content being paid for has been occurring “for a long time”. Mr Coleman joined Sky News Australia to discuss Meta’s recent decision to stop paying for Australian news content. “To his credit, Josh Frydenberg had the guts and the strength – backed by Scott Morrison and our whole team to make Meta pay,” he said. “Expressions of disappointment, little statements of anger – Meta will say ‘so what?’ “The only scenario to be frank here when Meta will pay for Australian journalism is where the government forces them to.”
