Communications Legislation Amendment (Online Content Services and Other Measures) Bill 2017 - Second Reading - Reinstate SBS revenue shortfall
Not passed by a modest majority
No rebellions 64% attendance
27th Mar 2018, 12:35 PM – Senate Communications Legislation Amendment (Online Content Services and Other Measures) Bill 2017 - in Committee - Cut-offs
Summary
EditThe majority voted against amendments (9) and (16), which were introduced by SA Senator Sarah Hanson-Young (Greens).
What do the amendments do?
Senator Hanson-Young explained that the amendments deal with:
the issue of the cut-off time. This legislation provides for gambling ads not to be shown for five minutes before and after play starts. We believe that that is not sufficient to ensure that we protect children and minimise the harm done by these insidious gambling adverts ...
So, in order to deal with that, we think that at the very least gambling ads should not be played within the period 30 minutes before the start of the actual match. That captures the pre-match programming, whether it's entertainment or commentary, as the kids are gathering around the television and families are getting together in the lounge room or wherever it is they're watching and getting ready for the game to start. Children should be protected from these gambling ads once and for all.
Amendment text
(9) Schedule 1, item 13, page 8 (line 23), omit "5 minutes", substitute "30 minutes".
(16) Schedule 1, item 22, page 29 (line 5), omit "5 minutes", substitute "30 minutes".
