Birmingham, Sen Simon

Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia) (14:51): Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Noting that the minister will not deal with specific recommendations, in the light of the extensive job losses and restructuring occurring in the print media environment at present, as well as increasing pressure being felt in other areas of traditional commercial media, will the minister give an assurance that he will not seek to impose greater regulation on media content or any increased costs on these sectors of the media? Senator Wong: Blaming the carbon price again.
