Hummm sounds like the govt is just pandering to the media companies that support them. Might be an ambit claim like Phillip Ruddock saying family trusts wont be a way of hiding money from creditors. Every politician and lawyer, high court judge accountant, doctor, CEO has a family trust for that reason. It was not supported naturally, an ambit claim to show the creditors that the government was considering their situation to gain their support (votes) at the next election.
