Broadcasting statistics: March 2015
To give stakeholders and other citizens better insights into our investigations work, we present this statistical breakdown of the broadcasting investigations work we have recently done and are currently doing. Where investigations are ongoing, or have not been published, the ACMA is generally unable to give detail of the entities and issues involved for individual matters or otherwise make comment.
