Canberra on the Air
AUTHORITY has been given to wire both Houses of. the Australian Federal Parliament for regular broadcasts, starting’ with the session preceding the September election and referendum campaign. The experimental session of Parliamentary broadcasts will not blanket the whole radio network. Regionals will be used only for special periods on the assumption that, however inadequate, ‘the ABC shortwave stations will give continuous country coverage. The Government hopes to reach 60 per cent. of the listeners. The Government is supported by the Opposition parties in the view that the broadcasts must be continuous, and rejected the ABC suggestion of six hours of Parliament a day. Later this year, the whole question of Australian broadcasting is to be re-ex-amined.
