My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Communication, Senator Fifield. I refer to reports that the government is in negotiations behind closed doors with media proprietors to abolish the rules protecting media diversity. In one of the most highly-concentrated media markets of any democracy, why is the government even contemplating removing the last protections that exist for media diversity?
