Mumbrellacast: ACMA cops it in Canberra, and inside WPP’s restructure
Sarah Hanson-Young making life uncomfortable for ACMA in Senate Estimates
Welcome to this week’s Mumbrellacast, where we are all very happy we don’t have to face Sarah Hanson-Young at the Senate estimates this week.
Unfortunately for Nerida O”Loughlin, the chair of media watchdog the Australian Communications and Media Authority, she wasn’t quite so lucky, and — as we discuss — she copped an absolute spray from Hanson-Young regarding ACMA’s lack of regulation over the continued broadcasting code breaches from the Kyle and Jackie O show.
We discuss why it is that the show can so regularly skirt the rules without punishment, and whether the new provisions in the code, coupled with a proposed license condition that would ban any on-air sex-talk, can finally force the duo to toe the line. Spoiler: We doubt it!
