The Greens support this motion wholeheartedly. It is absolutely essential that the government drops their mean-spirited approach towards community television, both in Adelaide, in my home state of South Australia, and in Victoria. One very easy stroke of the pen from the minister would fix this problem and relieve dozens of job losses, preventing the hundreds of people who currently volunteer for these community television stations from being left in the lurch. It's very simple: a stroke of the pen. The minister should do it today.

Question agreed to.
