Media reform package:
- Licence fees and datacasting charges to be abolished saving broadcasters $130 million. Instead, they'll be charged a new annual spectrum fee estimated to raise around $40 million.
- $30 million over four years for subscription television to increase coverage of women's sports and niche sports.
- Restrictions on gambling advertising during live sports events.
- Anti-siphoning regime list to be reduced. It stops pay TV broadcasters from buying the rights to sports events before free-to-air broadcasters have the opportunity to purchase the rights.
- Two-out-of-three rule that prevents a company controlling more than two of three radio, television and newspapers in an area, to be scrapped.
- Axing of the rule which prohibits a proprietor from controlling a TV licence that reaches more than 75 per cent of the population.
- A broad review of Australian and children's content.
