I thank Senator Farrell for his question. Details of this were given in the chamber last night. They were published last night. Details of how the fund would work were set out. It is $50 million for regional and small metro media that wasn't on the table 24 hours ago. It will make a significant difference. The criteria have been set out. There will be a transparent process. The additional 200 cadetships will make a big difference to many regional publications across the country. That will be broadly proportional, based on the states and territories. The regional scholarships, which are also on a proportional basis, will also make a big difference for more media opportunities.
