The fta (free to air) lobby is strong & active in Australia, protected by the anti siphoning list designed to make major sports events available to the general public.
The scheme stops pay television broadcasters from buying the rights to events on the anti-siphoning list unless free-to-air broadcasters have purchased the rights to televise the event. The anti-siphoning list includes events the Minister for Communication believes should be televised free to the general public.
