Thanks, Senator Scarr. I think the key point with this is that under this legislation—and we've always been very clear that this is about striking a balance, which we're doing in this legislation by ensuring that there will be fewer ads that people see as a result of that. That will no doubt be the case. That's delivered as part of this. Anyone watching a sporting game won't see them during live coverage. We think that's important. The 15 minutes on either side are also important. I think you've got to look at the whole package to ensure that there is less access to advertising as a result of these changes.
