I understand what you are trying to do, Senator Patrick, but the problem is you can't, because decisions need to be made within the context at the time. What you can't do in these hypotheticals is describe the context at the time: what deals have already been struck, what the digital platform is and what the contribution to the sustainability of the Australian news industry has been that's being assessed. That can't be done, so your hypotheticals are simply impossible to answer in these circumstances.
