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

 

The views expressed by Senator Norris take issue with those of Senator Ryan. Senator Norris's position is understandable, especially as he is concerned with a small market. Senator Kenneally asked if international events can be designated. The EU directive and the 1999 Act control the exercise by broadcasters of the rights required to broadcast international events. Showjumping events were included at the request of the relevant organisers.
