Communications Minister Mitch Fifield has told a private meeting of Coalition MPs that he is keen to abolish the "reach rule" and the "two-out-of-three rule". The Federal Government may formally reveal its position on cross-media ownership reforms before the end of 2015, although with Parliament about to rise for the summer break any such changes will be on hold until 2016. The Opposition supports scrapping the reach rule, although it has not yet declared its stance on the two-out-of-three rule.
