My question is to the Minister for Communications and Minister representing the Minister for Sport, Senator Fifield. In May, the minister said the government would give $30 million to Foxtel 'to support the broadcasting of women's sport and niche sports'. This month the minister suggested Foxtel was given the $30 million to compensate for the fact that other broadcasters were getting licence fee discounts. Which is it?
