I will start with the Department. The original Bill states that the broadcasting fund will be reconstituted into a platform-neutral media fund. We have seen benefits of multi-annual funding in other sectors. Ms Ryan spoke about building careers and how important it is to have access to multi-annual funding for the people working in the sector. Is the Department receptive to that in respect of the new media fund?
