Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

What this does: This instrument updates the "anti-siphoning" list—a register of major sporting events that free-to-air TV networks must be offered first before they can be shown on subscription services (like pay-TV or streaming).

The specific change: It modifies the rules for international netball matches featuring Australia's senior team (the Diamonds). Usually, these matches must be offered to free-to-air broadcasters. However, this amendment creates an exception for four specific matches played on:

30 August 2017
3 September 2017
5 October 2017
11 October 2017

Why it matters: Because these four games are excluded from the anti-siphoning list, Netball Australia could sell the broadcasting rights for these specific matches directly to subscription TV or streaming platforms without giving free-to-air networks the first chance to buy them.
