\u00a0Michelle Rowland<\/strong>\u00a0said: \u201cI congratulate Ms Nerida O\u2019Loughlin PSM on her reappointment as Chair of the Australian Communications and Media Authority. Since her appointment in 2017, Ms O\u2019Loughlin has led the ACMA to deliver important reforms and regulatory activities in the communications and media industries.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThis includes better supporting consumers facing financial hardship pressures in paying their telecommunications bills, mitigating consumer harms in gambling advertising, enforcing anti-scam rules and taking enforcement action against corporations for non-compliance with Australia\u2019s spam unsubscribe rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Chair\u2019s continuity will provide the Authority ongoing certainty as the Albanese Government continues its important media and digital platforms reform agenda. I look forward to continue working with Ms O\u2019Loughlin as the ACMA Chair.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
