Public Accounts Committee

2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment

12:30 pm

Ms Dee Forbes:

As the Deputy knows, the terms of reference were outlined by Government. It is incumbent on us, as the media, to optimise other opportunities. As we were saying earlier, the fact that the big digital players are now looking at payment for content - we have a precedent in Australia - it is incumbent on us now to speak to them as well. It is very underdeveloped at the moment and I think it will happen on a case-by-case basis with the individual platforms. Certainly, we will engage with them as well apart from what the commission reports.
