Tech giants lobby Australia over AI policy; Amazon warns of “two-tier economy”

On October 6, 2025, multiple big tech firms pressed the Australian government to adopt favorable AI policies, while Amazon cautioned against a “two-tier economy” in which laggards fall behind. 
They argue that without strong AI adoption, less agile businesses will be outcompeted, deepening inequality.
The outcome could influence whether regulation helps or hinders AI diffusion in Australia.
