@FAREAustralia This claim is utterly untrue. Nobody from commercial TV has ever said that the industry wishes to “ignore community voices and increase the amount of alcohol advertising”. This post is disinformation, calculated to generate responses based on false claims.
The WA Labor Government has called on the Albanese Government to change anti-siphoning laws so we all get free sport, no matter how we watch our free TV #KeepSportFree#FreeForEveryone

Every Australian kid deserves the right to watch their sporting heroes for free on TV. @mattshirvington in @thenightlyau says “Television is not only about being a fan, it’s about inspiring the next generation of Australian athletes” That’s why the Government’s anti-siphoning laws should ensure that every Australian has access to free sport, not just those who have an antenna on their house or can afford to pay global streamers #KeepSportFree #FreeForEveryone

This report by @AJFair85 in @theadvocatetas is right on the money – in a cost-of-living crisis in a country where watching sport is a way of life, it is not good enough that millions of Australians could miss out on watching their favourite sports for free just because they don’t have an aerial on their home or use a connected TV. Missing the T20 World Cup unless you pay will just be the tip of the iceberg. #KeepSportFree #FreeForEveryone
