Show Notes
An ACT MP wants the Broadcasting Standards Authority to be abolished as the watchdog seeks more power.
The authority has been asking for law reform for about 15 years as media companies produce more online content.
A Parliamentary paper notes the watchdog operates off a definition of a broadcaster established 35 years ago.
ACT's Laura McClure told Ryan Bridge she agrees the world has changed a lot in the past three decades.
She says there are many methods of oversight and doesn't believe the BSA is relevant anymore.
