My question is to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Conroy. Given today's announcement of further media concentration with News Limited's reported acquisitions and the potential for Gina Rinehart to launch a full takeover of Fairfax Media, is the minister happy to stand by and do nothing to protect media diversity in Australia? If not, when will the government move to legislate for a public interest test for significant media transactions as recommended by the convergence review?
