COMMUNICATIONS Minister Stephen Conroy admits the government will need to convince independent MPs if it wants to change media laws before the September election.
The government is running out of time to have parliament approve a package of measures cabinet is yet to consider.
Senator Conroy on Friday was coy about when cabinet and the Labor caucus would discuss his planned measures.
He described as "wild speculation" media reports about the detail of the package.
"Once cabinet and caucus have seen it, we will release it," he told ABC radio.
Parliament returns on Tuesday for a fortnight of sittings before breaking until budget day on May 14.
After that week, the House of Representatives will sit for four weeks and the Senate for two weeks.
"We will be bringing forward a package, but we clearly have to get the support of the independents," Senator Conroy said.
To have any legislation pass the lower house, Labor will need the support of five crossbenchers.
Support from the regional independent MPs could depend on possible mergers of television broadcasters.
The government has indicated it wants to remove a restriction that prevents the three metropolitan networks buying regional television affiliates.
