The national broadcaster is receiving some funds from the various companies in the drinks industry, in particular where advertising occurs around sports events. This is covered in the amendment tabled by Senator Black and others. While we may not be able to control or implement it now, my argument is that the amendment is valid. I am not asking that it would come into place immediately as it would take some time but that it would be looked at carefully with a view to having it in the legislation and that it could be brought forward by way of regulation at a later stage.
