Thank you, Minister. I have considered the whole package, and I've considered it very carefully. I also note that you're not the minister with responsibility for this portfolio, and I appreciate that you haven't had the carriage of this matter. You say there won't be any ads during live sport, but the fact is—isn't it—that after 8.30 pm there will be unlimited ads during scheduled breaks and non-scheduled breaks of, for example, the State of Origin.
