Labor to withdraw remaining media bills The federal government will withdraw the remaining four media reform bills from parliament. It's understood the decision was made at a parliamentary strategy meeting on Thursday morning. Communications Minister Stephen Conroy earlier told reporters negotiations on the bills, which include a measure to establish a public interest media advocate, were continuing with crossbenchers. He also said if the bills were withdrawn the government would "move on" and the legislation would not come back to parliament. Labor has not lost a parliamentary vote on any key government legislation since the 2010 federal election.
