The Canberra Times has an astonishing piece on efforts by Labor MLA John Hargreaves for the Legislative Assembly to start issuing directions to radio stations on what can be broadcast.
Labor backbencher John Hargreaves tabled a petition in the Assembly yesterday calling on the chamber to support policies that monitor broadcasts for material that is racist or incites racist sentiment.
The petition also calls on the Assembly to write to 2CC, ”stating that Chris Smith’s afternoon show is inappropriate for the local audience”.
2CC isn’t my cup of tea, but given they’re already regulated by ACMA do you want to London Circuit Soviet dictating appropriate content?
