Thank you, Mr Acting Deputy President. There is a lot of legislation and regulation that relates to broadcasting services. It is difficult to make a worthwhile contribution when you are constantly being interrupted by interjections. The fact is that, at this time of year in particular, it is important that the broadcasting companies have the opportunity to put forward the best possible alternatives in terms of the finals for both the major football codes that are played in Australia. This bill is timely and important in being able to make that possible, and I commend it to the Senate.
