Senator BOURNE (10:09 PM) —That is not what this amendment says at all. The datacasters concerned do not have to put up information given by a commercial free-to-air or a national broadcaster; they do not have to put up any of that information. They can put it up. But, if they have to put one up, they have to put them all up. A commercial free-to-air or a national broadcaster can put up their own or they can put up everybody's. We have just agreed to that as an amendment—that that would be the case.

There is the possibility that one of the others could ensure that a rival was not able to put up all the program information that they are required to do by not providing their own information because we have now required them, as we have accepted Senator Bishop's amendment, to put up either only their own information or everybody's information. So this is designed to stop that happening: it will stop one broadcaster stopping everybody's information going up by just not providing their own information. That is why there is the compulsion there. We have already agreed to Senator Bishop's amendments. That is why we need these amendments to not allow one of the broadcasters to stop another of the broadcasters from putting up a whole program guide.
