This is Doctor Denis Muller, he is from the University of Melbourne.
And Denis, you are concerned about impartiality.
That's right and I'm concerned about it
because people need to understand better what it means.
Lots of elements to it, fairness, balance, transparency.
And in balance, another very misunderstood idea,
it follows the weight of evidence. It is not about equal time,
it is also not about beating things up
and it is about diversity of views.
Now we have to somehow find some way
of giving expression to those things in the code
without making it impossible for journalists to operationalise it.
It can be done. It has been done at the ABC,
and it can be done for everybody.
Excellent, thanks Denis.
