The government does not support this motion. The government encourages Fairfax staff and management to use lawful means to resolve the dispute. It does not support the taking of illegal industrial action. Furthermore, the best way to ensure the future of journalism is to support the government's media reform package that will strengthen Australia's media industry and enable it to survive and prosper.

Question agreed to.
