What happened
Australia's government says it has no plan to create a text-and-data-mining copyright exemption, but Guardian Australia reports Labor ministers remain divided as technology companies press for looser rules and more datacenter investment.

What to watch
Anthony Albanese's Wednesday AI speech, any formal copyright proposal, licensing terms for training data, datacenter energy and housing conditions, and whether creators receive enforceable compensation rights.
