"We'll probably move to another nearby country, like Tasmania or something."

Tasmania is part of Australia.

They didn’t have a problem with China doing it.
Google did a lot of evil for a long time there.

Um, this article isn't real. It's basically something you'd read from The Onion.

Yes, April Fools from Google. April Fools from the Australian government (or should I say gubmint).

Some Microsoft representatives were on hand outside Conroy's office to offer their thoughts on Google's departure — and to hand out the many "Bing" T-shirts they had brought along.

Google is a very good all-purpose search engine. Maybe it’s TOO all-purpose. In recent years it has been trying to fine tune its results based on what you’ve searched for earlier. There ought to be ways to narrow down on the genre of website you’re thinking of. The suffix is not of much help because anybody and their uncle can be a .com.

Google isn't a web browser, it's a sales machine engine.

A true search engine is definable within personal search barriers.

Not in Australia - it’s 4pm April 1st here. And that’s where the joke was laid.
