We are talking about two different reports. We received the pre-legislative scrutiny report on foot of its publication earlier this month, on 8 March. There is a process for the passage of legislation. I cannot proceed to the next stage of that until it completes the next stage. It has gone through pre-legislative scrutiny and I have asked my officials to act, and act immediately, on foot of that, which is what they will do. A far more substantial body of work was undertaken by the committee regarding long-term funding for public service broadcasting in this country, which I complimented in my contribution. It is a very detailed report. Within days, I will have a report on my desk from my officials on foot of that. I intend to proceed with that and bring it to Government also.
