Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is the minister aware of a survey conducted by the ANU centre for social research which found that 81 per cent of Australians thought that media ownership was too concentrated among a few rich families? Will the minister listen to the overwhelming majority of Australian people and rule out changes that will bring about further concentration of media ownership in Australia? I further ask: can the minister confirm that the application of her test in Queensland would see the number of media owners in Cairns fall from seven to four and, in Bundaberg, from six to four?
