The Australian Government has signalled that it may be open to supporting some of the Senate crossbenchers’ proposed amendments to it cross-media ownership reform bill. These include the Nick Xenophon Team’s push for an inquiry into the growing market power of Google and Facebook and a 40 per cent tax break for smaller news publishers. However, Communications Minister Mitch Fifield is unlikely to support One Nation’s push for the costs of the ABC and SBS to be reviewed.
