My question is to the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Conroy. Minister, in the context of media reform and the concentration of media ownership, are you aware that Channel 10 has contracted out the television program Meet the Press to News Limited so that the show is produced out of News's Fox Studios and it is News which hires the staff and invites the guests? If so, is the minister concerned about News Limited exercising its influence over a TV station through the back door?
