To quote the article the changes are:

- "The amendments require the Treasurer to take into account whether the digital platforms have already struck commercial agreements with news publishers before passing further regulation to make the code formally apply to them"

- "In the event the Treasurer decides to enforce the code, the tech giants must be given one month’s notice"

- "Another change will add a two-month mediation period into the code to give the parties more time to broker agreements before they are forced to enter a binding final-offer arbitration process. This comes on top of the existing three-month negotiation period."

These changes don't seem like a loss to me.
