97 Requests to Australian Competition and Consumer Commission
(1) Before a subscription television broadcasting licence is allocated to a person under section 96, the ACMA must request the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to provide a report under this section.
(2) The report is to advise whether, in the opinion of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, the allocation of the licence to the applicant:
(a) would constitute a contravention of section 50 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 if the allocation of the licence were the acquisition by the applicant of an asset of a body corporate; and
(b) would not be authorised under section 88 of that Act if the applicant had applied for such an authorisation.
(3) For the purposes of the consideration of a request by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, section 155 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 applies as if the allocation of a licence under this Part were a matter referred to in subsection (1) of that section.
