I seek leave to add the names of Senators Abetz, Bushby, Colbeck, Martin, Brown, Urquhart, Singh, Bilyk, Whish-Wilson and McKim to the motion.

Leave granted.

I, and also on behalf of Senators Polley, Abetz, Bushby, Colbeck, Martin, Brown, Urquhart, Singh, Bilyk, Whish-Wilson and McKim, move:

That the Senate:

(a) notes with deep regret the recent decision by WIN TV to produce and read Tasmanian local news out of New South Wales, and the loss of local jobs and content as a result of this decision; and

(b) reaffirms the importance of local news content, and calls on all media outlets to maximise local news production and content as part of their operations.

Question agreed to.
