Thank you, Minister, for giving us another explanatory memorandum to digest in the middle of the debate! Amendments (1) and (2) on sheet PZ245 relate to ACMA’s power to grant prior approval to transactions that would create an unacceptable media diversity situation. ACMA can approve a transaction if it is satisfied that the situation would be remedied by the actions of a third party. Could the minister outline what sorts of actions are envisaged here?
