‘No material changes’: Government publishes interim anti-siphoning sports codes list
Communications Minister Michelle Rowland has handed down an interim anti-siphoning list without changes to regulated sports codes, which will be in force for three years as the review of the scheme progresses.
Under the new list – the Broadcasting Services (Events) Notice 2023 – the televising of competitions including The Olympics Games, AFL, NRL, cricket and the Australian Open will need to remain free and accessible to the general public.
The previous anti-siphoning list was set to expire on 1 April. In October last year, the Albanese Government commenced its public consultation on a review of the scheme as promised in its election commitment.
