The WIA responds on two ACMA proposals involving the amateur service

Changes proposed by ACMA could see the amateur service lose one of our most important amateur satellite bands. The Australian Communications & Media Authority is proposing to change the Australian radio frequency spectrum plan to accommodate ultra wideband vehicle radar technology in the 22 to 26.5GHz frequency band.

If given the go-ahead, this plan would result in Australian radio amateurs losing their primary access to the 24 to 24.05GHz amateur satellite segment and being severely curtailed in experimenting in the secondary access segment of 24.05 to 24.25GHz. The Australian Communications & Media Authority invited comments on the proposed changes to the spectrum and the WIA responded. The response to ACMA can be read here.

The second proposal is the response to ACMA on their discussion paper on strategies for wireless accesses services. This submission can be read here
