The treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, has indicated Facebook will restore Australian news to Australian users' feeds on Friday.

Frydenberg told 2GB Radio:

I understand you will see some changes from tomorrow, that's what Facebook have told us.

That was a major engineering feat for them to wipe the Facebook platform of Australian news media content but in doing so they also took out charities, NSW Fire and Rescue, 1800 Respect, Bureau of Meteorology, and there was understandable outrage about what Facebook did. But since that time there have been discussions and we've reached a solution and a way forward.
