SYDNEY (Reuters) – Google is reviving plans to launch its own news website in Australia within weeks, according to a local media outlet contracted to provide articles for the venture, as the search giant fights world-first proposed laws on content payments.<\/p>

The launch of the News Showcase product as early as next month is Google\u2019s latest tactic in a high-profile campaign against the Australian government\u2019s planned legislation to make the company pay local news providers for content that appears in its search engine.<\/p>\n

Misha Ketchell, editor of the academic-penned newsite The Conversation, said on Wednesday he was approached by Google \u201cto resume discussions about launching the News Showcase product as soon as possible, potentially in February. We are working with them on this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Google had announced plans to launch News Showcase in Australia last June, signing deals with six small local outlets, including The Conversation, for content. It subsequently delayed the launch, citing regulatory conditions, when Australia\u2019s competition regulator published a draft copy of the proposed media bargaining code.<\/p>\n

The decision to push ahead with the launch was an apparent show of Google\u2019s willingness to run its own content deals, negating the need for government-mandated legislation.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for Alphabet Inc owned Google in Australia declined to comment on Wednesday. Two other local publishers confirmed they had content details in place for the new site, without discussing recent talks.<\/p>\n

Google Australia Chief Executive Mel Silva told a parliamentary hearing last week the company would pull its flagship search tool from Australia if the laws, the first of their kind in the world, went ahead.<\/p>\n

Under the planned laws, Google and social media behemoth Facebook Inc must negotiate binding commercial contracts with Australian outlets whose content drives traffic to their platforms. If they can\u2019t strike a deal, the government will appoint an arbitrator to do it for them.<\/p>\n

Google has argued that the legislation, which is currently the subject of a parliamentary inquiry but expected to be passed into law soon, is unworkable.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Google can demonstrate that it can reach agremeent with some publishers then its aim is to show that that commercial arrangements can be made in the absence of some kind of legislative intervention,\u201d said Derek Wilding, a professor at the University of Technology Sydney\u2019s Centre for Media Transition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe question is whether those arrangements are suitable for all publishers. The kind of arrangements that Google can propose will suit some publishers, but not others.\u201d<\/p>\n
