Ah, right that didn't come up in a word search thanks for that. Cheers.Nope, I didn't miss any detail. I clearly covered it in post 2771 when I said the broadcasting act of 1992 has the same impartiality requirement as the ABC act.
The broadcasting act for television and radio have the same code of impartially and a separate one for print / internet and they all have the same code.
TV (3.4)
Radio (3.1)
3.
1.1 Impartiality
1.1.1 In broadcasting a news Program, a Licensee must:
a) present news fairly and impartially;
b) clearly distinguish the reporting of factual material from commentary and analysis.

All forms of media in this country are supposed to be impartial when it comes to news reports.
Malcolm Turnbull lodges second complaint with the ABC about Emma Alberici
The Turnbull government has lodged a second series of complaints to the ABC about the network's chief economics correspondent Emma Alberici, this time over her reporting on innovation spending.
However, the public broadcaster has roundly rejected the complaints following an internal review.
It was one of about half a dozen complaints Mr Fifield has made to the ABC since he came communications minister in September 2015. Those included grievances about a segment on Tom Ballard's Tonightly program, changing the date of the Triple J Hottest 100, a Black Comedy sketch and Yassmin Abdel-Magied's comments about Anzac Day.
ABC executives will face a Senate estimates hearing in Canberra on Wednesday night. Tensions are high between the broadcaster and the Coalition after the May budget froze funding at a cost of $84 million over three years.
Mr Fifield denied his grievances were a factor in the funding freeze. He also confirmed he referred two complaints - about Tonightly and Black Comedy - to the broadcasting regulator, the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
The Black Comedy content, which appeared on Facebook, is not within ACMA's remit. Mr Fifield told Senate estimates he knew this but referred it anyway to make a point.
What is this hate agenda?The last sentence says it all. The Comms minister would be better off using resources to address the NBN complaints instead of wasting it on a hate agenda with no possible outcome.
I'm glad the govt is freezing the funding though. If the ABC really is biased then marginal Lib seats will be the first to feel the cuts to services. Fine by me
What is this hate agenda?
State owned media is the bane of the Coalition's existence - regardless of the on air content.What is this hate agenda?
The ABC hate the Libs. Any argument about that?The Libs hate the ABC. Any argument about that ?
The ABC hate the Libs. Any argument about that?
You are entitled to your own opinion, Horace. But you are not entitled to you own facts.
