My question is to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Conroy. I ask the minister whether he will concede that News Ltd Chief Executive, Kim Williams, is correct when he states that the minister's bills are unconstitutional, dangerous and contain a deeply troubling lack of detail. Will the minister come clean and admit the reason that so many of the terms, definitions and powers in the bill are so ill defined is to give the public interest media advocate significantly more power and control than he has admitted to date?
