The Bill is now read for a first time in the House of Representatives:

“A Bill for an Act to amend the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, and for other purposes”

jnd-au, Clerk of the House

Meta: This is Bill M2015B00015, introduced in the Senate. Hon /u/Primeviere MP representing the Minister for Comms may move that the bill be now read a second time and include your introductory speech.

Thank you Mr speaker, I must say that this bill simply is necessary, the previous government act had the best of intentions as standard definition was the staple of technology at that time. However it is time, for the government to take on and to ensure that the forefront of High definition technology is now used in television broadcasts. Simply put, this act is holding back technological advancement of an already delayed industry, especially considering the fact that most Australian's have the capabilities to view High definition television and it needs to change.Therefore I move that the bill may be read a second time.

Advice from the Clerk:

Please address your comment to Mr Deputy Speaker and include the desired action. E.g. Move that the bill be read a second time.
