Welcome along to the podcast.

Terrible news yesterday.

The disbanding of the Broadcasting Standards Authority, a relationship, an organisation that I've had quite a relationship with over the years.

And a good one, I've got to say.

A positive relationship myself and Broadcasting Standards Authority.

I would say very positive.

I feel like there's more than that, but this feels like a bit of a dossier.

Yeah, stretches back.

And look, we've had a hiccup.

We had a hiccup in 99.

But apart from that, we've had quite a positive relationship.

Spitting on a car, whoa.

That's what I'm saying, not upheld.

And not upheld means that they said that there was no case to answer.

Yeah, so the media is going to be like a media council, which happens at the moment in print.

Is it?

No, I don't think so.

And the reason that it's happened this way is because nowadays it's called the Broadcasting Standards Authority and obviously so much content is delivered online now.

Yeah, this podcast.

And because there's other stuff coming in from overseas that's online that they have no control over, pornography, all sorts of stuff, the Broadcasting Standards Authority doesn't have any jurisdiction over that.
