This is about—I want to make it absolutely clear—a commitment to the ABC and SBS. This is a package of measures that will enhance journalism in Australia and will mean more journalists being employed rather than fewer journalists. That is why we will support the second reading stage of this bill, and we look forward to the committee stages of this bill.
