Australia could build its own Baidu, or Naver. I agree it's an exciting opportunity.

Good luck with that. What you will wind up with is Rupertoogle.
I'd assume any description of the "exciting" opportunity to build another Baidu is sarcasm.
Why build? There's a number of other search engines available - Google is not the only choice. As a national project, that would be a waste of money.
And those search engines wouldn't fall under this law why?
Because the law specifically refers to Google and Facebook only.
