I would note, Minister, that in relation to the previous version of the mandated code versus the version where the big stick gets people to comply, neither system guarantees the outcomes. In that context, in relation to ranking preferentially by digital services, I think you've explained that it allows commercial deals to be made, but they can still be considered for their contribution to the sustainability and success of news services. What does 'ranked preferentially' actually mean? What do these deals or agreements look like? They're in that overall section of the legislation about those agreements. I'm assuming it's algorithms or something. I'm hoping for an explanation.
