For the 2006 series of ''[[Big Brother Australia|Big Brother]]'', Ten appointed two censors to review the show instead of one.{{Citation needed|date=August 2011}} The Federal Minister for Communications, Senator [[Helen Coonan]], was reported to have said that she would be keeping a "close watch on the show's 2006 series".{{citation needed|date=July 2014}} This controversy resulted in ''[[Big Brother Australia#Uncut|Big Brother Uncut]]'' being renamed ''[[Big Brother Australia#Uncut / Adults Only|Big Brother: Adults Only]]'' for [[Big Brother 6 (Australia)|the 2006 season of ''Big Brother'']]. In two separate findings, the [[Australian Communications and Media Authority]] determined Network Ten breached clause 2.4 of the [[Australian Commercial Television Code of Practice|Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice]]. These two breaches were in relation to the broadcast of ''Big Brother Uncut'' on 30 May, 13 June and 4 July 2005. The broadcast material was not classified according to the [[Censorship in Australia#Television|Television Classification Guidelines]].

Despite toning down ''Big Brother: Adults Only'' significantly in comparison to 2005, the series continued to attract [[Big Brother 6 (Australia)|controversy]]. After ''Big Brother: Adults Only'' was abruptly cancelled several weeks early, a subsequent incident of alleged sexual assault in the house saw the removal of two housemates and a huge public outcry calling for the series to be cancelled entirely.<ref>(3 July 2006), [theage.com.au/entertainment/big-brother-in-bigger-bother-20060703-ge2my6.html "Big Brother in bigger bother"], ''[[The Age]]'', Retrieved 8 February 2022.</ref> This incident generated significant publicity for the show, even prompting the Prime Minister of Australia to call on Network Ten to "do a bit of self-regulation and get this stupid program off the air."<ref>{{Cite news| title = Get this stupid program off| work = The Sydney Morning Herald| date = 3 June 2006| url = https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/get-this-stupid-program-off-20060703-gdnvtk.html| access-date = 8 February 2022| archive-date = 9 February 2022| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20220209042809/https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/get-this-stupid-program-off-20060703-gdnvtk.html| url-status = live}}</ref>

Just prior to the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Network Ten broadcast ''[[911: In Plane Site]]'', a documentary that examined [[Conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]] about the terrorist attacks. Federal [[Australian Labor Party|Labor]] politician [[Michael Danby]] demanded that the programming director of the station be sacked.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Butterly |first=Nick |title=Labor MP attacks Ten on 9/11 documentary |publisher=News.com.au |date=11 September 2006 |url=http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,20391954-1702,00.html |access-date=12 September 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090706004822/http://www.news.com.au/story/0%2C23599%2C20391954-1702%2C00.html |archive-date=6 July 2009}}</ref>

On 8 October 2008, the [[Australian Communications and Media Authority]] (ACMA) found Network Ten guilty of breaching the Commercial Television Industry Code of Practice by using [[Subliminal stimuli|subliminal advertising]] during the broadcast of the 2007 [[ARIA Music Awards]] on 28 October 2007.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ten guilty of subliminal advertising |publisher=Ten Network Holdings Limited |date=8 October 2008 |url=http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,24465413-12377,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081009164600/http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0%2C25197%2C24465413-12377%2C00.html |archive-date=9 October 2008 |access-date=13 June 2017}}</ref> Network Ten had inserted single [[film frame|frames]] (lasting 1/25th of a second) into the program broadcast.
