I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes the reports That the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) may have to cut the specialist news program on its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander channel NITV;

(b) recognises the importance of Indigenous news media and the role that NITV reports play in covering a range of breaking news stories that are in the interest of, or from the perspective of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; and

(c) calls on the Government to work with SBS to ensure that this important service is retained.
