BROADCASTING SERVICES ACT 1992 - SECT 97

Requests to Australian Competition and Consumer Commission

  (1)   Before a subscription television broadcasting licence is allocated to a person under section   96, the ACMA must request the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to provide a report under this section.

  (2)   The report is to advise whether, in the opinion of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, the allocation of the licence to the applicant:

  (a)   would constitute a contravention of section   50 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 if the allocation of the licence were the acquisition by the applicant of an asset of a body corporate; and

  (b)   would not be authorised under section   88 of that Act if the applicant had applied for such an authorisation.

  (3)   For the purposes of the consideration of a request by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, section   155 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 applies as if the allocation of a licence under this Part were a matter referred to in subsection   (1) of that section.
