‘I think we’ll see a lot of change this year’: Foxtel’s Patrick Delany pushes for regulatory reset
Patrick Delany addresses the crowd at the showcase in Canberra
The Foxtel Group’s annual Canberra showcase visited the nation’s capital again last night with chief executive Patrick Delany and an entourage of media executives, actors, producers, sporting administrators and sports stars presenting the case for less regulation to members of parliament.
The most significant of those being targeted was perhaps Communications Minister Anika Wells. With both houses sitting, and overseas travel out of the question for the minister after the storm regarding her travel expenses, Wells was always a good chance of attending.
Speaking to Mumbrella before he started his presentation, Delany said: “We do this every year. We always have a different angle and the idea is to showcase what we do and make parliamentary Australia aware of it.”
In addition to a presentation from the CEO just above the Great Hall inside Parliament House, and two panel discussions, there was also some entertainment with a Supercars simulator and football games for the AFL and NRL.
