We know that many of Australia's news publishers are moving more and more to video. At what point will the government consider whether to include Facebook Watch and YouTube in the discussion? Of course, not every television station in this country has a newspaper or a radio station as well; the ABC, SBS and Channel Ten primarily rely on content that is watchable. With Facebook Watch and YouTube not included, is the government giving consideration to a point at which that will be reviewed?
