TV classification scheme to be reviewed for first time since 1995 as government begins implementing ACCC Digital Platforms response

The government is conducting a review into the classification scheme for the first time since the regulation’s 1995 inception, as implementation of its response to the ACCC’s Digital Platforms Inquiry begins.

As part of that response, released last month, the Morrison government agreed to develop a platform-neutral media regulatory framework, which includes standardising classification across delivery framework. The goal, the government said, is for the new framework to better reflect changing technology and community needs.

Minister Fletcher said the review will ‘modernise’ the scheme
