  • Reform of the Broadcasting Authority's Enforcement Powers
    Reform of the broadcasting regulator’s enforcement powers A report prepared by Professor Ian Ramsay Sydney November 2005 ISBN 0 642 27074 0 © Commonwealth of Australia 2005 This work is copyright. Apart from fair dealings for the purpose of private study, research, criticism or review, as permitted by the Copyright Act 1968, no part may be reproduced or transmitted, in any form or by any means or process, without the written permission of the publishers. Published by the Australian Communications and Media Authority 201 Sussex Street Sydney NSW 2000 Australian Communications and Media Authority ii Foreword The commencement of the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 ushered in many positive changes to the regulation of broadcasting in Australia, particularly in the area of industry responsibility for codes of practice and the expansion of various new categories of service. While the regulatory framework has generally operated well, experience over the years has highlighted a lack of flexibility in enforcement measures available to the regulator under the Broadcasting Services Act. In particular the absence of a set of graduated powers did not always allow the then Australian Broadcasting Authority to deal with non-compliance with broadcasting rules in an appropriate manner. Accordingly, in 2004, the ABA asked Professor Ian Ramsay of Melbourne University to examine the effectiveness of the ABA’s existing enforcement powers and to make proposals to enable the ABA to deal more effectively with breaches of the rules. The Australian Communications and Media Authority is now pleased to release the results of Professor Ramsay’s research—his report on the regulator’s enforcement powers under the Broadcasting Services Act.

  • The Takeovers Panel: a Review
    The Takeovers Panel: A Review Ian Ramsay* Introduction It is now almost 20 years since the Takeovers Panel became part of the framework of takeovers regulation in Australia. The Panel was established in 1991 and was originally known as the Corporations and Securities Panel. The key power of the Panel was to declare circumstances to be unacceptable in relation to a takeover. This power had previously been vested in the National Companies and Securities Commission. However, there was a concern that it was inappropriate to vest in the corporate regulator the power of both investigation and adjudication and that a body independent of the Commission should have the power to adjudicate takeovers disputes. The first half of the Panel’s existence is widely regarded as unsuccessful. It could only act on a referral from the Australian Securities Commission. During the period 1991 to 2000, the Commission referred only four matters to the Panel. 1 Two years passed following the Panel’s establishment before the Commission referred the first matter to the Panel. It was almost another six years before the Commission referred the second matter to the Panel. When we examine the second half of the Panel’s existence the comparison is stark. In the 10 years since 2000 the Panel has decided more than 300 matters. It is regarded as having made a very important contribution to the effective regulation of takeovers in Australia. On 12 March 2010, the Minister for Financial Services, Superannuation and Corporate Law, the Hon Chris Bowen MP, issued a media release that stated: Over the past decade, the Panel has established itself as a key part of the regulation of capital markets in Australia by providing a fair, speedy and cost-effective mechanism to resolve disputes during takeover transactions.
