Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2006: Committee Stage
4:00 pm
Mary Henry (Independent)
I support Senator O'Meara. This is an important issue. We discussed it earlier and we do not need to go through it again. However, we did not discuss the financial cost. I presume an additional cost will arise if these channels are on one of the multiplexes which will charge. Senator O'Meara makes a good point in that the entire project will not be a success if those who now receive these channels for free find they must pay for them.
