Paul Goldsmith: Media and Communications Minister on the decision to shut down the Broadcasting Standards Authority

The Government says it will be up to audiences to decide if they care whether broadcasters self-regulate.   It's shutting down the Broadcasting Standards Authority, sayings it's past its use-by date in the online age.   The Media and Communications Minister expects the Media Council will become the primary regulator for journalism. Paul Goldsmith told Mike Hosking he doesn't have to opt-in.  He says it's voluntary and broadcasters can explain their decision to join or not to their audience.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
