Mr. Bob Hughes:

Certain things are included but others are excluded. They are excluded, as usual, for reasons of budget.

There is no magic figure in terms of what the proportion of the funding should be, but it seems absolutely logical that if 7% was covering the broadcasters, then 7% will not cover broadcasters, publishers and the online channels. It does not make sense that there would be no increase. Although there is discretion for the Minister to give additional funding, the performance of the economy and international factors may affect that beyond all our control, which means the funding becomes more vulnerable and more discretionary.
