My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer her to the News Media (Self-Regulation) Bill 2013 which states that the Public Interest Media Advocate will judge the extent to which the Press Council's standards will 'deal with privacy, fairness, accuracy and other matters relating to the professional conduct of journalism'. How is this consistent with Senator Conroy's assertion that the public interest advocate is 'simply a registration function' and that 'the government or the advocate are not changing a single standard that the Press Council currently has'?
