Broadcasting (Major Events Television Coverage) (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

The intent of the original directive may have been to cover events other than sporting events, though it is difficult to foresee anyone wishing to corner the market in the case of a papal or presidential visit, a European summit or a victorious team homecoming. Perhaps, a free concert by Bono and U2 would generate the necessary interest but, not being a scheduled or annual event, that would come too quickly to be included.
