Italy was not the only country to have politicians play games with colour television.

Australia did not get colour TV until 1975 despite pressure from the broadcasters, primarily because the government did not want to spend money to upgrade the national broadcaster, the ABC (which is modelled on the BBC).

Colour tests began in the late 50s and continued throughout the 60s with 625 line variants of NTSC and both SECAM and PAL. Australia ultimately adopted PAL G in line with much of Europe.
