The new bias test on programming being invoked by the government-biased board of the ABC should equally apply to commercial broadcasting.  
"People pay for the ABC through their taxes. We pay for the commercials through the advertising costs loaded onto the goods we buy. So the rules on content should be across the board. I'd like to see a bias test on Alan Jones or John Laws," Senator Brown said.
 
"Last election the ABC gave the Greens half the coverage our vote deserved . Will this bias test mean that the Greens will now receive twice as much coverage on the ABC?" Senator Brown asked.
