Fifield, Sen Mitch

Senator FIFIELD (Victoria—Manager of Government Business in the Senate, Minister for Communications and Minister for the Arts) (14:19): I thought there was an unlikely unity ticket there for a moment, but apparently not. There are range of colleagues in this place who have views about ABC resourcing. Some would like the ABC to have fewer resources and some would like the ABC to have more resources. It is open to any colleague to put their views in relation to those matters. As I indicated earlier, the government outlined and established the ABC's triennium funding the budget before last.
