Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has advocated changing Australia’s cross-media ownership laws in the past, and comments in his first official press conference suggest that it may be back on the agenda. Turnbull noted that he first talked about the need for reforms in 1977, and said he will look forward to discussing the issue with cabinet ministers. Media law reforms were put on hold by former prime minister Tony Abbott earlier in 2015.
