    Yep. In the draft bill, Anything published by any level of government or anything published by political parties about electoral matters or referendums is excluded. So they’re free to push misinformation to their hearts content.

    Professional news content is also excluded. Though to be fair is probably included under other acma rules.

      Well that’s interesting. Murdoch’s Fox News claimed it wasn’t a news organisation in a court case.

      So Sky News is gonna have to decide if it’s a news organisation or potentially be up for misinformation…
