The Federal Government has secured the support of enough Senate crossbenchers for its cross-media ownership reforms. The Nick Xenophon Team agreed to back the abolition of the "reach rule" and the "two-out-of-three rule" after negotiating a compromise. As part of the deal, the Government will establish an innovation fund that will provide grants to small and regional publishers, while it will also provide scholarships for people in regional areas to study journalism. The Government will also abolish broadcasting licence fees and trim the anti-siphoning list for sports events.
