Thank you, MP Thomas.
Just taking one step back to the starting point for clause 27, eligibility means the QCJO criteria, which we've discussed at length in this committee. In the context of interpretation of QCJO, the question has come up around the arm's-length nature of journalists.
Given that the point of departure is that QCJO status, there were concerns from smaller news businesses where one of the journalists is related to the news business because they're a family member to the publisher or to the owner. The concern was that they would be excluded from the current two-journalist criterion.
This is clarifying that notwithstanding that familial connection, that journalist would count towards the two-journalist criterion.
