Section 28 right now speaks to subjecting public broadcasters potentially to conditions specified through regulation. The removal of clause 28, as MP Julian highlighted, would essentially move towards removing the ability to attach any conditions whatsoever to the participation of public broadcasters in the regime. I would say that there would likely need to be a consideration about consequential amendments further on in the regulatory powers, but section 28 is clear that there can be conditions attached to the participation of public broadcasters, which would include provincial broadcasters as well.
