Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Future of the Media Sector: Discussion

Mr. Paul Farrell:

The only point I would add to that is that in the past five years, we have gone from two stations to six stations. Our player has grown probably 10% year-on-year and our costs have stayed flat. There is a reality, as the Senator knows from the newspaper world as much as anything else, in that businesses and technology allow organisations to manage their costs better and partner and work with people differently to support the needs of their business. Probably one of the frustrations is - back to the transparency accountability of public funds - that if there is a better approach to how that is driven and shared and challenged or allocated, there is then an opportunity for everybody to do better.
