Last year Google had an Aus revenue of about $1 billion & paid $51 million Aus tax
while "our" News Ltd (in the same ad business) has $2.1 billion revenue & paid
no Aus corporate tax.

News Ltd is a player in Aus Politics (political bias) while Google is not.

So if the Aus Tax regime was a level playing field News Ltd ought to have paid $100 mil AUD corporate tax for year 2019-20

So there you go...eh?

Hi Mick
News Ltd is a player in Aus Politics (political bias) while Google is not.

IMHO that is no longer necessarily correct, with Googly definitely in the business of shaping opinion which is what paper media does, and they are also politically biased, but I do agree that there should be far more equality in tax paying
