Community radio stations across the country continue to outperform commercial networks for the time spent listening and, therefore, their listeners are more inclined to support station sponsors, who help to maintain the running costs of these stations. Whilst it is unlikely that 4ZZZ's hosts are One Nation supporters, I do support their efforts as a community radio station and I congratulate them on 45 years of community service throughout Brisbane.

Let me also take this opportunity to highlight other community stations, including Keppel FM in Yeppoon, NOOSA FM on the Sunshine Coast, Sunshine FM in Buderim, Bay FM in Cleveland, 4CRM in Mackay, Fraser Coast FM in Hervey Bay and many others across my home state of Queensland, who all do a great job. In a time where we hear excessive network content on commercial radio stations, it's community radio which genuinely provides the most amount of local content for local communities.

Question agreed to.
