Media regulations currently regarding the control and diversity of Australian media are regulated by the Broadcasting Services Act 1992. This act places limits on the concentration of ownership of radio broadcasting licences, commercial television and newspapers. Australian media regulations go back to the 1930’s when the government started to issue radio licences and the 1950’s when TV licences where introduced.
