We had a team of unions and other reps in a couple months ago and I asked each of them at the end their preference of funding, and all of them said direct Exchequer funding. Given the Future of Media Commission report, that was the one recommendation left sitting on the shelf, if you like. Would Mr. Bakhurst favour direct Exchequer funding? Is he frustrated that no decision has been made? As he referred to, the decision has not been made yet because no decision has been made. I would imagine they are like ferrets in a sack behind the door, fighting over it. The Minister for media has publicly expressed that she would prefer direct Exchequer funding, in line with the Future of Media Commission. Does Mr. Bakhurst have any comment?
