You've said yourself you've wanted bipartisanship to give it a better chance. How are you going to get this across the line if you've got the Opposition Leader, the Nationals, people on all sides of politics out there actively campaigning against hack triple j But it shouldn't come as a surprise given his negative comments at every opportunity that he's had since he's been Opposition Leader, and his history of not even being prepared to sit in the Parliament when the Apology was given to Stolen Generations.

Now joining us to talk about the extra money that Australians are having to shell out for iTunes is David Bradbury. David thanks for joining me. Yeah well thanks David. Yeah, look I think we would all like to see the prices for the songs that we download and the other content that we download to be lower than it is. And certainly when we see comparisons with what's on offer elsewhere in the world that is a source of concern to us all. I think though and having heard the piece that you've put on air, I think that one of the points that we do need to acknowledge that there are in fact different licensing arrangements that are in place across different countries. And, you know, I don't know the extent to which that is a driving consideration in these price differences but that certainly is a consideration. But I think that at the end of the day one of the biggest factors here is that it does come down to a question of competition within the Australian market. And as your report indicated, there are other alternatives out there and BigPond is the second largest competitor. Have a look at the BigPond site you will see that a whole range of songs and albums are in fact in many cases cheaper than the iTunes alternative, the Australian iTunes price that is, albeit still being higher than the US price.

But we've got Lachie on the line on line one. You can't just add more money in, because what that would do is add to inflation.

I'm very proud to be your first guest for the year. I want to ask, on this tax proposal that you've put forward, do you think that the plan changes that you've outlined are actually enough to help young Australians especially, who have been devastated by cost of living over the past couple of years? And that will make an enormous difference by making sure that everyone who works and pays tax will be better off this year. So, I think this is a practical response to the fact that so many people who are low and middle income earners have borne the brunt of having to deal with the inflation that has impacted on the economy and impacted on the cost of living. MARCHESE : Okay, but isn't there other stuff that we could be seeing that could make a real difference right now that should be a priority, whether that's support for taxpayer services like healthcare, dental, that people are really struggling with so they don't have to wait until tax time.

BRADBURY: Well look I think they will but the point I was making just before we got interrupted was that where there's already price differences there, the fact that Apple continues, through iTunes, to continue to have such a large market share in part reflects that there's been a bit of inertia from consumers in not taking their business to the alternative and there are a range of reasons as to why that might be the case.

Yeah well look obviously to the extent that these pricing policies are driving people into obtaining their content through means where they're not paying for it or through free downloads or other illegal pathways, to the extent that that's happening then I guess operators such as iTunes do that at their own peril because they will also be losing business not just those who are the owners of the copyright that will ultimately get a cut and in many cases a small cut of the overall price for each download.
