He exploit much more than workers. He payed almost no taxes to the countries where he sells, abused monopoly tricks to get rid of competition and started the business before EU had proper regulation on internet market and privacy.
Where's that "payed/paid" bot when you need it?
Anyway, I remember when the Australian government first required online purchases from Amazon etc. to pay the same tax brick & mortar stores have long had to pay.

But really, it was just an obvious move and a rare W from the LNP levelling the playing field and requiring large multinationals to pay their fair share.
