[cma-l] Local Broadcasting: Radio Culture Media and Sport Written Answer

[Ian Hickling]

.....which is something we already knew - so - do we leave it hanging there - or do we ask - "What, please, Minister, is the answer to the question:
 
What is the support your Department provides to help Community Radio projects to obtain an FM or AM broadcasting licence? "
 
"Nothing at all" perhaps?
