Yes, The Project is exempt from classification due to its status as a news program. ---

So there seems to be some grey area or at least some feel there should be limits on what is/isn’t allowed in “E” programs? Which includes sport. ---

Back in the days, the 7pm project used to rate PG right until the end of October 2011. Since November 2011, the show was rebranded as The Project and dropped the PG rating. I think that this is followed by the axing of the short-lived 6:30pm with George Negus. ---

Yes, yes, and GWS star Phil Davis said the f word to Jude Bolton post match less than a week ago and it was talked about in the media… I think we missed the point, I wasn’t saying I didn’t know that already happens, even if more common than thought. But was just reminding people here that sport also carries no classification restrictions. ---

It’s not exactly a free-for-all in News and sports programs, licensees are to exercise care in the selection of material for the program, having regard for the age of the likely viewership. But the unclassified rating exists because, being live, the broadcaster can’t have total control on what airs. Basically presenters shouldn’t swear, but can’t have control over guests who might not be so thoughtful or aware. Also remember ACMA don’t investigate anything unless someone complains to the station and isn’t satisfied with the response received. ---

Seven appears to have re-reviewed and re-classified The Simpsons episodes, as they’re just re-runs that have already been shown on 7mate earlier this year, yet were a different classification (“PG” for every one) and had no consumer advice. Mayne someone either internally or externally gave them a nudge at how poor or little effort the classification department had previously put in. As previously mentioned, Ten were always through, classifying each episode with consumer advice. _7:30pm 7mate tonight_ ![Screenshot_20180926-200051_7plus](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/a/d/ade97da46b0ab0b8e0d26873286739e78aa94519.jpeg) _8pm 7mate tonight_ ![image](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/6/d/6dcba32014b26e20e69b286236fd2d1529be6880.jpeg) ---

All there was was the classification graphic on the bottom corner of the screen when the show started, and it wasn’t an alphabet of letters: C, G, PGR, AO. That was it. If a movie was particularly racy it was “AO Modified For Television” 😛 ---
