Senator HINCH (Victoria) (12:38): I, and on behalf of Senators Ludlam, Xenophon and Lambie, move: That the Senate— (a) notes that: (i) more than five million Australians listen to community radio in an average week, (ii) the community radio audience comes from a diverse range of backgrounds and maintains a diverse range of interests, (iii) community radio listeners are disproportionately more likely to identify as Indigenous, religious, LGBTIQ, from a culturally or linguistically-diverse background, or as living with a disability, (iv) these interests are not adequately served by commercial radio, and (v) the diverse range of voices that contribute to community radio are even more critical in a commercial environment, where diversity is impacted by increasingly consolidated media ownership structures; and (b) calls on the Australian Government to: (i) increase funding targeted for community digital radio, taking the Commonwealth contribution to $4.5 million per annum in 2018-19, and (ii) commit to funding community radio at that level, indexed, on an ongoing basis.
