David Seymour doesn't think the Fair Digital News Bargaining Bill will solve underlying issues with media.
The Government's progressing an amended version of the Bill which will make digital platforms like Facebook pay for news content.
ACT's invoked its right to 'agree to disagree' and will oppose the Bill.
Party leader David Seymour told Mike Hosking that it will probably make issues with media worse.
He says that's because the one attractive thing about the original Labour policy was that it deals with private companies with no politicians involved, but now they're proposing a politician be involved.
