Minister, previously you have told the chamber that 100 to 200 publishers are expected to be registered as news publishers for the purposes of this code and for the purposes of striking a commercial arrangement with the two big tech giants. You've said that there isn't a working list of these publishers but surely Treasury has some idea of who they are, if indeed you have come up with 100 to 200 publishers who could be eligible. How do these media organisations know who they are for the purposes of this if there is no working list? Have they been contacted? Will they be contacted? What is the proactive role of ACMA to ensure that these publishers are participating in this process, engaging with the big tech giants and trying to strike a deal to ensure—as you've gone to many times today—that we make Australia's news industry sustainable?
