It will come as a great surprise to the chamber to learn that my question is to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Conroy. I refer the minister to his proposed establishment of the public interest media advocate which, under his ironically titled News Media (Self-regulation) Bill, will accredit the work of organisations like the Press Council and the Independent Media Council. Will the minister give one specific example to the chamber of egregious handling or dismissal of a complaint about a specific news story that he would have expected to have been prevented under his proposed reforms?
