My question is to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Conroy. Was the minister aware of the concerns of the community television about allocation of digital spectrum before the budget and before he set the firm time lines for the switchover to digital television? If so, why didn’t he consider these valid concerns and allocate funding in the budget for the sector to broadcast in digital in line with his public and private assurances?
