There is, indeed, a plethora of media and new sources now available online. As I look to the press gallery let me randomly pick one, BuzzFeed. It is just one of many examples of what you might call non-traditional media that is available online.

Also, there are the remaining media diversity rules. There is the five/four rule, which mandates minimum voices in media markets. There is the one-to-a-market rule, which ensures diversity in terms of television. There is the two-to-a-market rule which ensures diversity in terms of radio. But, of course, the best guarantee of diversity is that we have strong and viable media organisations in Australia, and that is what our reforms are all about.
