Broadcasting Minister Paul Goldsmith has revealed he's mulling over changes to the Broadcasting Standards Authority. 

Set up in 1989, the Authority has regulatory powers over traditional broadcasters - but today ruled it can consider complaints against online broadcasters too. 

NZ First's Winston Peters has labelled the move 'fascist behaviour' and Goldsmith says he's working on a response. 

"The legislation is out of date, there's no question about that...it relates to a world where you just had broadcasting TV and broadcasting radio, so there was a situation built up around that. Now, of course, the world's moved on."
