Broadcasting (Major Events Television Coverage) (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
There is widespread support among the people that certain events, which are of major importance to society, should continue to be available on free-to-air television services on a near universal coverage basis. Full participation in society requires that individuals should not be excluded from following events of major importance to society on the basis of inability to pay. I have no doubt the people will welcome and support the provisions in this Bill.
