Communications Legislation Amendment (Content Services) Act 2007

The Communications Legislation Amendment (Content Services) Act 2007 (Cth) deals with the regulation of content services delivered over convergent devices (such as 3G mobile phones, which can access the internet). The primary purpose of the legislation is to ensure children are not exposed to harmful or inappropriate content and that community standards are upheld. As some artists use convergent device technology in their arts practices Arts Law made a submission on this important issue before the Act was passed on 20 June 2007.
