I am pleased that the objectives outlined by the committee in advance of the report were met. These objectives were comprehensive and important targets and I would like to pay tribute to Senator O'Meara for her excellent work as the rapporteur. Before the committee began its report it was agreed that the aims should include an assessment of the opinions and experiences of the licensing system by local radio stations. This ensures that the report is representative of those affected by licensing procedures and gives an insight, which is necessary to draw up effective legislation to deal with the problems identified during the course of this review.
