I want to go to one of the other issues you said in the first lot of questions in corporate
00:08
about the long list of things that you're working on, News Media Bargaining Code and
00:14
the fund for small and independent publishers. Have you got the architecture of how that
00:23
fund will operate?
00:24
I didn't talk about News Media Bargaining Code which is a matter for Treasury, I talked
00:28
about the News Media Assistance Program which the Minister has indicated is something that
00:33
she aims to bring to fruition by the end of this calendar year. I did go through a long
00:38
list of different items, some of them you've accused us of going too fast, some of them
00:42
you've accused us of going too slow, the only differentiating factor seems to be whether
00:46
you agree with them or not Senator.
00:47
I haven't asked you to be contentrial on anything, I just wish you'd get on with most things.
00:50
Oh I've heard that misinformation and disinformation is being raised.
00:52
I didn't say anything about that, please Mr Betz, I have not asked you any questions
00:57
about that.
00:58
Senator Hanson-Young?
00:59
Well he just accused me of something that was not actually correct.
01:02
You spent all morning accusing him of a whole range of things, I mean he's a fairer tort.
01:05
And he has corrected when he thinks it's wrong. I would like that withdrawn, I have not asked
01:10
you any questions about that.
01:12
No, there were questions around social media age limits and the speed at which that was
01:15
going. My point is simply that we are proceeding on multiple different fronts, sometimes we
01:20
are accused of going too fast, sometimes going too slow. The common factor is through our
01:24
minister, we are consulting, we are engaging and we are endeavouring to get the right and
01:28
a sustainable policy solution.
