I move amendment No. 33:

In page 44, subsection (2), lines 15 to 23, to delete paragraphs (a) and (b) and substitute the following:

"(a) that all news broadcast by a broadcaster is reported and presented in a balanced, objective and impartial manner and without any expression of the broadcaster's own views,

(b) that the broadcast treatment of current affairs, including matters which are either of public controversy or the subject of current public debate, is fair to all interests concerned and that the broadcast matter is presented in a balanced, objective and impartial manner and without any expression of the broadcaster's own views;".
