The News Publishers Association remains optimistic the Fair Digital News Bargaining Bill will go through.
A Select Committee's recommended the bill not be passed in its current form.
The bill would force social media giants to pay for using news media.
Media and Communications Minister Paul Goldsmith says they've not made a decision and it's still on the table.
News Publishers Association spokesperson Andrew Holden told Mike Hosking that ACT is against the bill while Labour and the Greens are in support.
He says there's no comment from National or New Zealand First, leaving the ground open for Goldsmith to step in and say exactly what he'd do.
