The Australian government implements 'must carry' regulation for smart tv screens.

Michelle Rowland, Minister for Communications in the Australian Government, announced regulations on 29 November that will require manufacturers of smart TVs to make it easy for users to find channels from local broadcasters (including the ABC, SBS and commercial networks) when they turn them on. The new law requires TV manufacturers to preload iview, SBS On Demand, 9 Now, 7Plus and 10 Play on all smart TVs sold in Australia. The main purpose of the introduction of the new regulation is to ensure that these applications cannot be unfairly hidden in the user interface. They are designed to be as visible as the apps of major players such as Netflix or Disney+.
