My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm that when he was communications minister, the government was warned that the government's cuts to the SBS could have an impact on the ability of Australians to watch the World Cup? This included SBS CEO, Michael Ebeid, in Senate estimates in 2014, warning that future World Cup coverage could be at risk because of the government's cuts. Will the Prime Minister now apologise to football fans who are complaining about second-rate coverage of the World Cup?
