Repealing advertising restrictions for media

Legislation that will repeal all advertising restrictions for broadcasters on Sundays and public holidays has been introduced to Parliament, Media Minister Paul Goldsmith says.

“Traditional media outlets are operating in an extremely difficult environment and as the Government we must ensure regulatory settings are enabling the best chance of success.

This [change] will level the playing field by ensuring local media companies are not disadvantaged by restricted advertising times that don’t apply to digital streaming platforms”.
