Google has just issued a statement on the launch of its News Showcase product, and how it sees that working in Australia.

We reported last week that the launch of Showcase in Australia indicated there might be negotiations between Google and the government to limit how Australia's proposed news code applied to Google, and if that happened, then Google would back down on its threat to pull its search product out of Australia.

We've been very clear that Showcase would work under the Code, not as an alternative to it. Good faith negotiations and remuneration would apply to Showcase, with disputes resolved through standard arbitration, with guaranteed revenue flow. Standard offers would also be available to all registered news media businesses including smaller and regional publishers.

We continue to be in talks with a range of publishers, large and small, in Australia and around the world, and are excited about continuing to build on Showcase's success."
