1998-99

 

 

THE PARLIAMENT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA

 

 

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

 

 

BROADCASTING SERVICES AMENDMENT BILL (No. 3) 1999

 

 

SUPPLEMENTARY EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

 

 

Amendments to be moved on behalf of the Government

 

 

Amendment (1) removes Schedule 3 - International Broadcasting Services from the Bill.  Schedule 3 is being removed from the Bill and is proposed to be re-introduced into the House of Representatives as a separate Bill.  Schedules 1 and 2 are expected to be non-controversial.  Introducing Schedule 3 as a separate Bill will give the Parliament more time for the consideration of the measures in that Schedule.

 

 

The amendment has no financial impact.
