Farmers have extracted yet more money from a willing government for drought relief while many newsagents continue to struggle with the impact of deregulation imposed in 1999. While I fervently believe in a free market, it is unreasonable that this was imposed on the newsagent channel without any assistance to adjust the 4,600 businesses for open competition. A key element of assistance ought to have been fixing the magazine supply model which continues to see newsagents supplied non top-200 selling titles on terms which are inequitable. These are titles those competing with newsagents refuse to carry. Try as they might, newsagents struggle daily with magazine distributors to achieve a net reduction in range.
