- About the ABA
- The Australian Broadcasting Authority (ABA) was established by the Broadcasting Services Act 1992, and began operations on 5 October 1992. The Broadcasting Services Act defines the role of the regulatory authority, gives the ABA a range of powers and functions, and sets out explicit policy objectives. The objectives include the desirability of program diversity, limits on concentration of ownership and foreign control of the mass media and the need for media to help foster an Australian cultural identity, report news fairly and respect community standards. The ABA consists of the Acting Chair, Lyn Maddock; members Robert Le Tet, Jane Marquard and Malcolm Long; and acting member (and general manager), Giles Tanner.
