Overview

The Broadcasting Services (Events) Notice (No. 1) 2010 was enacted under subsection 115(1) of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 by the Australian Government to address the gap in ensuring that certain significant sporting, cultural, and entertainment events are made freely available to the public through broadcasting services. This legislative instrument was developed to promote the public interest by making these events accessible, thus enhancing the viewing experience for the general audience and supporting the cultural and social fabric of the nation. The notice was issued by the Minister for Communications and is intended to complement the primary act by specifying which events should be available free-to-air, thereby giving effect to the policy objective of enhancing public access to important events.

Scope and Application

The Broadcasting Services (Events) Notice (No. 1) 2010, as amended, applies to broadcasting services within the scope of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 (BSA). It specifies certain events, or types of events, the televising of which should be available free to the general public. The notice pertains to significant sporting, cultural, and entertainment events held in Australia and involving Australian teams or representatives. The notice applies across the Commonwealth of Australia, ensuring that the specified events are accessible to the public without charge. This regulation does not contain specific exclusions but focuses on particular events deemed significant for public access. The notice is made under subsection 115(1) of the BSA and can be amended through subordinate instruments, which have been utilized to update the list of events over the years to reflect changes in major sporting events and schedules. The notice was most recently amended by the Broadcasting Legislation Amendment (Broadcasting Reform) Act 2017, which repealed and substituted the entire notice, including its schedule, effective from 17 October 2017.

Key Provisions

The Broadcasting Services (Events) Notice (No. 1) 2010 specifies a list of events, or types of events, that should be available to the public free of charge (section 4). This includes major sporting events such as the Olympic and Commonwealth Games, Australian Football League and National Rugby League matches, international test matches in cricket, rugby union, and soccer, as well as other significant events such as the Melbourne Cup and the Australian Open tennis tournament (Schedule). These events are mandated to be broadcast in a manner accessible to the general public, ensuring that the televising of these events does not require payment of a subscription or additional fee. The Notice imposes obligations on broadcasters and licensees to ensure that the listed events are broadcast free-to-air, meaning that they must be available on a television channel that does not require a subscription for access. Broadcasters and licensees must comply with the requirements of the Notice by making these events available to the public without any additional charge. This includes ensuring that the broadcasts are accessible and of a quality that meets the standards expected for such significant events. Breach of the obligations set out in the Notice can lead to significant consequences. While the Notice itself does not explicitly state penalties, violations may be subject to enforcement actions under the Broadcasting Services Act 1992. Under this Act, breaches can result in fines and other sanctions imposed by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). The potential penalties for non-compliance can be severe, reflecting the importance of making these key events accessible to the public. Specifically, contravening the requirements of the Notice could result in fines up to the maximum allowable under the Act, which can be substantial given the nature of the events involved. Additionally, persistent or severe breaches may lead to more severe penalties, including the possibility of licence suspension or revocation for the broadcasters or licensees involved.
