My question is to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Conroy. I refer the minister to the recommendations of the Finkelstein review and the Convergence Review, which the minister indicated during question time yesterday that he was preparing to act on 'in the not too distant future'. I ask the minister if he is now prepared to rule out any of the recommendations from these reviews and, if so, which ones. In particular, will the minister rule out the Finkelstein recommendation to establish a new news media council?
