Random opinions:

* I'm not a big fan of Google's ubiquitousness and power, but

* I think a 'link tax' is not the right way to go, but

* I think Microsoft is being opportunistic here.

In this case, the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.

i agree. It's hard not to be cynical especially seeing that its microsoft/bing saying this. If google do move out of australia it's basically like microsoft winning the lottery.
