Policy Context

  1. Advertising restrictions during live sport remain under review federally.
  2. Point-of-consumption tax rates vary by state and affect margins.
  3. Affiliate marketing disclosure rules tighten from July.

Analysts expect growth to moderate as cost-of-living pressures constrain discretionary spend.
