Independent senator Nick Xenophon wants an impasse over cross-media ownership reforms to be resolved during Parliament’s winter break. The media bill has been sidelined, with the Federal Government focusing on passing its schools funding package. The Nick Xenophon Team will press for safeguards to ensure media diversity if the "two-out-of-three" rule is abolished. The media industry has backed the reforms, but one TV industry source has warned that this will not be the case if the Government seeks to split the bill.
