Google is a 'publisher' says Aussie court as it hands £20k damages to gangland lawyer

I'm not a Google fanboi by any means, but if there is a webpage with (apparently) relevant information, shouldn't a web search return a link in its results?

Now if Google were archiving the offending webpage after it was legally obliged to be taken down -and- returned the link in a search, that is a problem.

It would help to know if The Age were still publishing the article after it had been legally required to take it down.
