32. Are there provisions for free or subsidized access to media for political parties?

Broadcasting Act 2009 Section 39 
(2) Nothing in subsection (1) (a) or (b) prevents a broadcaster from transmitting party political broadcasts provided that a broadcaster does not, in the allocation of time for such broadcasts, give an unfair preference to any political party. Section 41 (3) A broadcaster shall not broadcast an advertisement which is directed towards a political end or which has any relation to an industrial dispute. (4) A broadcaster shall not broadcast an advertisement which addresses the issue of the merits or otherwise of adhering to any religious faith or belief or of becoming a member of any religion or religious organisation. (5) Nothing in subsection (3) is to be read as preventing the broadcasting of a party political broadcast provided that a broadcaster does not, in the allocation of time for such broadcasts, give an unfair preference to any political party.

There are provisions.
