Show breaches decency rules

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has found four broadcast licensees in breach of decency rules due to comments broadcast on the Marty Sheargold Show about women’s sport.

The ACMA investigation found that Triple M Sydney Pty Ltd, Triple M Brisbane Pty Ltd, Gold Coast FM Pty Ltd and Maryborough Broadcasting Company Pty Limited all contravened the Commercial Radio Code of Practice by allowing derogatory language and sexist themes to be broadcast on the program.

These included comments that the Australian women’s national football team, the Matildas, were behaving like “Year 10 girls”, with the host proceeding to mimic a Year 10 girl, perpetuating stereotypes of women’s behaviour.....

Fibre to the node trails all other connection types for download speeds

Households with a fibre to the node (FTTN) NBN connection are more likely to experience underperforming download speeds than any other fixed-line connection type, the ACCC’s latest Measuring Broadband Australia report has found.

FTTN connections with plan download speeds of 50 or 100 Mbps accounted for 86 per cent of all underperforming connections measured in the report during May 2025. Underperforming services very rarely, if ever, achieve at least 75 per cent of their plan download speed.

Nearly all of the underperforming FTTN connections measured in the report were also impaired. This means that the household cannot access their plan download speed because it exceeds the maximum attainable download speed that can be reached on their individual connection....

2025 Competition and Consumer Workshop: ACCC keynote address

Transcript

Introduction

Good morning, all. I begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of lands, waterways and skies across Australia. I pay my respects to the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong people, on whose country we meet today, and honour their culture and Elders, past and present. I also extend my respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander colleagues who are here today.

It’s a pleasure to join you all today at this competition and consumer workshop. We meet at a time of profound disruption across our economy. Disruption that is reshaping markets, straining households and testing the resilience of businesses.
