The Australian Green Party will support making Facebook and Google pay to redistribute journalistic articles if the plan is extended to cover more sources of journalism.

I am very much in favor of this, as I expect that it will pry loose those companies' influence over what news people access.

There are some sorts of works that I believe should be free. But that doesn't apply to news articles. I think individuals such as you and me should be free to redistribute exact copies, but I don't think that companies such as Google and Facebook are entitled to that right. Thus, I see nothing immoral about such a tax. It is a pragmatic question and nothing more.
