Australian Greens' Dissenting Report

1.1        At this time, the Greens have concerns regarding the nature of the proposed reforms, which the Government have not yet clarified.

1.2        The Government has yet to make the case for how these reforms will encourage media diversity, or if any targets for media diversity have already been met.

1.3        The Government has not yet made a coherent argument for how this plan will strengthen new media start-ups and create more opportunities for online-based news sources such as BuzzFeed, Junkee and The Guardian.
