Nothing in the agreement that the government has entered into with One Nation relates to resourcing. Colleagues will be aware that in the budget before last the ABC's triennial funding was outlined. In terms of the review itself, I don't have any set views as to what the recommendations may be that come out of that. The ABC, as colleagues would know, has legislated independence, so the government is not in a position to direct and doesn't have an intention to direct the ABC. The ABC will continue to follow its charter. It will continue to operate independently as is guaranteed by the legislation. The competitive neutrality review is essentially a mechanism so that those who have issues in this area can have them ventilated.
