Ms Dee Forbes:

I again refute the notion that we were engaging in bogus employment practices. I mentioned to a previous speaker that the nature of broadcasting employment, and the media generally, is a combination of many contracts on an ongoing basis, such as part-time contracts and so on. It was flagged to me when I came in that we needed to look at this whole area. At that point, we immediately engaged a review of contractors and very quickly put in place a change to our policy of employment, first on a go-forward basis. We have done the review. A combination of time, legacy and changes in employment practice got us to where we are. I am now confident that we are on the right footing. We have put the employment-first practice in place and are determined to work with the various bodies with which we are working to get this to a good conclusion.
