That I find extremely concerning—that, if one of the three commercial television stations is left out, the government will still be prepared to consider that Facebook has given a significant contribution. I find that not very reassuring. Our media landscape is highly concentrated as it is. There are not that many players, even in the medium space, let alone the large space. I can't imagine that people up in the gallery in Channel 10 right now are feeling very good about your answer. I'd like you to consider that again. Are you suggesting that, if Channel 10 were not able to strike a deal with Facebook but Channel 7 and Channel 9 were, that would be enough to tick a box for this government in terms of Facebook's contribution?
