We've had some radical changes to this legislation overnight, and of course there are a lot of questions, both from Labor and, really, the Australian community as a whole. I will ask at the outset: does the government intend, in this case, for the threat of regulation to do most of the work in levelling the imbalance in bargaining power between news media and digital platforms? Is it the instrument itself that will have this influence, or is it now the threat of regulation that is going to level that imbalance in bargaining power?
