Under questioning from Nationals senator Fiona Nash, a department official conceded one proprietor could take over a local television station, newspaper and radio station in a regional area with six media outlets.
If the three independently-owned media collapsed, the company controlling a newspaper, TV station and radio station could potentially be left the sole controller of media in the area, the department's acting general manager of content and media Dr Simon Pelling said.

 ABORTION: National senator's key role in RU-486 fiasco - 13 May 2006
Senator Nash's very prominent presence at the Nationals' Victorian state conference in Bendigo (April 7-8) - a presence that was totally unnecessary as she is a NSW senator and not a minister - was not reassuring to rank-and-file Nationals.
Her role in promoting RU-486 was not merely a vote of conscience, as she has tried to claim; rather, it was an aggressive promotion of this abortion drug through a Bill she co-sponsored with feminist senators from other parties.
The picture of the Gang of Four, Senators Nash (National), Judith Troeth (Liberal), Claire Moore (Labor) and Lyn Allison (Democrat) celebrating with champagne the advent of this drug which kills unborn babies, and sometimes their mothers as well, was an unlovely spectacle.

What the Queensland Nationals Senator Barnaby Joyce has conditionally agreed to falls well short of what he recommended the Federal Government should consider in a position paper that he and another new Nationals senator, Fiona Nash, recently helped write for his party's think tank, the Page Research Centre.
