Labor Party joins calls for further media reforms as ACCC mulls digital platforms report

The opposition Labor Party has called for further rounds of media reform, joining the chorus of demands for modernising Australia’s regulation of publishers, broadcasters and digital platforms.

Opposition communications spokesperson Michelle Rowland said Australia’s media regulations are outdated and are skewing the playing field away from local content makers, while flagging a future Labor government may look closer at the industry’s competitive landscape.
