Yes and like I said ACCC has been pretty logical in their decision so would be surprised if they take a stupid action like EUOf course nothing has changed. You have to wait for Australian Anti-trust (or anti competition commission) to take action. Obviously, they will not have taken that action between my two posts. It is easy to obtain the same information by Googling or searching for ABC news in the YouTube.

Well, they have a bill. It means they are contemplating getting it in place at some point. It is just a matter of time. It also means that they acknowledge something is wrong with apple's business practices currently.
I gave you the article earlier. Giving it again. This is what is coming ahead in 2024.
What’s Ahead: 2024 Digital Economy in Australia
Digital platforms, online content providers and other businesses active in the digital economy face an increasingly complex and evolving regulatory…
1. Ex Ante Digital Platform Regulation: The Government announced its in principle support of the ACCC’s recommendations to introduce digital platform consumer measures (see 2, 4 & 5 below) and mandatory service-specific codes for designated digital platforms containing targeted competition obligations. Treasury will work on framework design, informed by further consultation and international developments.
Also, another law to regulate digital payment services. It is coming.
448 million people (compared to US 331 million). So yes, it’s a huge market.
About your second question: Because you have a non functioning government that cannot agree on anything? And one of your two parties has completely lost the plot?
But, I wouldn’t call it bullying. In Europe we have different values, so it’s only normal these are enforced on all companies, even the ones from the US.
That wasnt a bill.I gave you the article earlier. Giving it again. This is what is coming ahead in 2024.

If its a bill it would be listed here (The official site for current bills)
I wouldnt count vague articles as bills
Regarding the Financial thing I am 100% against the banks the big 4 just want their control over it and as consumers no one I know has said its bad. I hate installing different banking apps for payments and if you look at the stats Apple pay has rocketed in terms of usage
I said it is coming in 2024, which the article supports. If you want the actual bill, you would have to open a browser, type the words "Australian Draft Bill text....."That wasnt a bill.

That is how everyone does.So we are down from “they have a bill” to coming soon. Then again these vague articles don’t have anything concrete until something is presented to the parliament. For all I care they can say iron man is real until then.I said it is coming in 2024, which the article supports. If you want the actual bill, you would have to open a browser, type the words "Australian Draft Bill text....."
We don’t have any big software companies anyways so again would be very surprised!
I have been saying coming soon right from my first post. Please go back and check.
Your reply and the post you are responding to both make my political compass explode. Voters and politicians of both American parties regularly support "European" values like app sideloading and the right to repair.
I've wanted to download and install random IPAs ever since Apple took down that drone strike app. The consumers who would most immediately benefit from this feature in the US are users of deplatformed apps like Gab.ai. I find it really hard to see this as either a communist or a European thing. Unlike the Chinese government, the EU is making it harder for itself(!) to censor things by pushing for app sideloading.
(Unfortunately, our social media laws are another story.

These are my exact words. It says the bill is not in place yet, which means it is a draft. Looks like it will be in 2024.
"Well, they have a bill. It means they are contemplating getting it in place at some point. It is just a matter of time. It also means that they acknowledge something is wrong with apple's business practices currently."
Firstly a draft is not a bill. We don’t know what the details are so again vague articles and just speculations. There is nothing wrong in Apple business practice!
If Australian government is was ever concerned about those we have mining sector to start with. So in essence nothing concrete, not a bill and speculations
A draft is exactly that, a bill. Once it is approved, it becomes an Act.
I think I should stop now

If it was the bill it would be on the official bill list which clearly doesn’t have this!
Looks like you do not want to read. I literally gave you an attachment which gives the definition/difference between a bill and act and you want to go with your own definition without any source to back it up. Good job.
You said it was a bill. I gave you the official link to the Australian Government's bill page and then you flipped your narrative to oh its a draft which is again vague detail. Where is the exact change simple question!!
The only thing is that oh there is some recommendation
Well, are you saying there is no draft bill that is Australia is bringing up against Apple/Big Tech? According to you Australia will let Apple go scot-free? Let us see then, at the end of 2024, who is right.
PS: Can you give the official link again? I cannot go to your previous posts as MR is not letting me see them.
How does screwing with Apple’s business
model of easy to use digital appliances (NOT A PC) allow a 3rd party to spring forth from the ashes of the EU tech sector?
if you want “open” go Android. So easy.
Enjoy the battery suck on your 3rd party browser engines. Have you seen Chrome on MacOS? 😂
