My question is to the Minister for Communications, Senator Fifield. On Monday, SBS managing director Michael Ebeid said of the decision to sublicense World Cup games to Optus:

… it does come down to finances … We've had about $40 million in reductions in our government funding … had we not had to look at our budgets, we probably would have retained it, like we were planning when we bought it.

On Monday, the Prime Minister refused to apologise to Australians and football fans for his cuts to the SBS. Will the Minister for Communications now apologise to football fans and all Australians for cuts made on Malcolm Turnbull's watch?
