Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce has made an impassioned plea for Australians to be able to watch major sporting and cultural events for free ahead of the introduction of amendments to anti-siphoning laws in federal parliament. Viewers could have to pay to stream sport or major cultural events if the government does not protect digital rights for free-to-air networks, he said.
” Plibersek stopped short of agreeing to strengthening the laws, with Barr questioning her: “Tanya, can you guarantee people will have free sport if they are watching through an app?” “That’s really a question for Michelle Rowland, the Communications Minister,” Plibersek said. Anti-siphoning legislation came after the introduction of subscription TV in Australian in the 1990s. The laws ensured viewers could watch major sporting and cultural events for free.
