It seems FTA TV stations can't broadcast in HD on their primary channels, it's the law. I never knew this, so thank God Turnball is doing something right for a change.

The Broadcasting Legislation Amendment (Primary Television Broadcasting Service) Bill 2015 provides the national and commercial free-to-air broadcasters with the flexibility to deliver programming on their primary television services in either standard definition or high-definition formats. Broadcasters' primary television services include ABC1, SBS ONE, 7, Prime7, Nine, WIN, Ten and Southern Cross. These services are subject to particular obligations regarding Australian content, captioning and antisiphoning. At present, free-to-air broadcasters are required to provide their primary television service in standard definition.
