I don't think there's any doubt that we seek a strong regime, but I made a number of points about the argument for consistency, which I think the minister's words are quite disingenuous about. You asserted just then, once again, that code regulation permits weaker regulation, and we have to say that that's complete nonsense from our point of view. Minister, if code regulation permits weaker regulation, why use code regulation for the broadcast platform?
