Public Accounts Committee

2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment

12:30 pm

Ms Dee Forbes:

The important point is the fact that public service broadcasting needs to be universally accessible. The Deputy is correct in the sense that while all these platforms provide awareness building, they are getting bigger and bigger. The discussions have started in Australia where for the first time there is payment coming the other way and we will probably see more of that. It is certainly something that we are very keen to progress because it is incumbent on the newer providers in the market to be fair and decent and to pay for some of that content. I think we will see more on that in the months ahead.
