Broadcasting (Election Programmes and Election Advertising) Amendment Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill amends and updates Part 6 of the Broadcasting Act 1989, which regulates election programmes on television and radio, to enable political parties to communicate with voters through digital media more flexibly and cost-effectively, while maintaining existing safeguards and restrictions.
