>ACCC to lead development of a code of conduct to govern dealings between tech giants and media businesses.
Murdoch country is doing his bidding and tapping themselves on the back, all these attempts against US tech firms is protectionism and should be countered as such.
The ACCC is one of the most important consumer rights bodies in the world.

To paint their actions as “protectionist” is way off the mark of how and why they do what they do.
