Source: AdNews, 22 November 2007
CANBERRA: The Australian Labor Party is promising to shake up the media industry if elected on Saturday (24 November).
Stephen Conroy, Labor’s shadow communications minister, has commented that Labor may offer a fourth free-to-air television license to enhance diversity.
Conroy also stated that Labor plans to give the Australian Competition and Consumer Competition (ACCC) greater powers to scrutinise media deals and acquisitions.
According to media reports, Labor has also announced 31 December 2013 as the firm switch-off date of analogue to digital TV.
Labor is expected to formally announce its media policies today (22 November), including its position on the introduction of a dedicated ABC children’s channel without junk food advertising.
