Outdoor industry faces inquiry into ‘degrading’ billboards

The outdoor media industry is facing a parliamentary inquiry into the regulation of billboards.

The inquiry is being conducted by the House of Representatives social policy and legal affairs committee whose chairman has complained about “degrading or suggestive” outdoor ads.
