Federal Communications Minister Mitch Fifield has ruled out separate media reform bills to abolish the "reach rule" and the "two-out-of-three rule". He insists that both reforms must be presented to Parliament in a single bill. The Australian Labor Party supports scrapping the reach rule, while regional TV broadcasters want it to be abolished quickly so they can consider mergers with metropolitan networks. However, Labor wants a Senate inquiry into scrapping the two-out-of-three rule.
