Google Australia has launched its News Showcase product at the tail-end of a near two-year-long journey by Australian regulators to rein in the power of the tech giant.

News Showcase has been suggested by Google Australia as an alternative to the government’s impending News Media Bargaining Code, which forces the digital giants Google and Facebook to pay local media for content.
