Government gives broadcasters $127m licence fee holiday
The Turnbull government has announced it will remove licence fees for commercial free-to-air television and radio broadcasters for the 2016-17 financial year as a one-off relief measure.
According to Minister for Communications and the Arts, Mitch Fifield , the one-off removal of the fees is worth around $127m to the industry and comes after the media reforms stalled in the Senate.
