My question is to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Conroy. Can the minister specifically explain how the $250 million rebate for commercial television broadcasters—that is, 33 per cent in 2010 and 50 per cent in 2011—was arrived at? Specifically, are the rebate figures directly related to local content costs incurred by those networks?
