NEWS INTRO

-------------------------

In today's news, Google threatens to remove itself from Australia. Google has threatened to remove its search engine from Australia over the nation's attempt to make the tech giant share royalties with news publishers. Australia is introducing a world-first law that makes Google, Facebook, and other tech companies pay media outlets. The US firms have fought back, warning the law would make them withdraw some of their services. Google says the new law will lead to it disabling its search tool for Australians.
