The Australian Broadcasting Tribunal

The Australian Broadcasting Tribunal was a government body established to regulate and oversee broadcasting services in Australia, including television, radio, and cable television. Its role was to ensure that broadcasters complied with laws, maintained standards, and served the public interest. The Tribunal made decisions on issues like licensing, content standards, and licensing renewals. It operated independently from broadcasters and the government to promote fair and diverse media. The Tribunal was replaced by other regulatory bodies over time, such as the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), to adapt to changes in the broadcasting landscape.
