I am just going to say one extraordinarily important thing: this is a very, very important reform. The strength and the viability of the Australian media voices can only be enhanced by allowing the industry more options for how it configures itself. This legislation, which will give effect to the government's very comprehensive reform package, has been introduced by the eminently capable Minister for Communications, Senator Fifield, a great Victorian. This is the time to step up. It is now time for the parliament to come together. We can all come together here and now to support this package as a whole and give Australian media organisations a fighting chance.
