Illustration for Broadcasting Act 1989

The Broadcasting Commission cannot tell people what to do with the content of a programme if it has given them money for that programme under section 36. This rule applies even if the Commission has the power to do so under this Act or the Crown Entities Act 2004. You can read more about the Crown Entities Act 2004 on the legislation website.
