The ABC and SBS are gearing up to defend their programming in light of a new review that has suggested some content is not "core" to the charter responsibilities of the public broadcasters.
From July 2019, the ABC's funding indexation will be frozen for three years, representing a reduction in overall funding of $84 million. The broadcaster, which receives more than $1 billion in funding each year, says services will be affected by the squeeze. Ms Guthrie was fired from the $900,000-a-year role late last year and took the ABC to court over claims her dismissal was in retaliation for raising complaints against Mr Milne.
"Ms Guthrie advised in January of this year that in light of Federal Court proceedings she was not willing to participate and the board resolved it was not able to progress," Dr Ferguson said.Whilereported the figure was $500,000, sources close to the ABC say the true figure is "higher". The public broadcaster has not revealed the cost.
every IPA members wet dream is to dumb down and destroy the ABC and SBS mind you they have done a cracking job so far of Fking over our public broadcasters with a death by a thousand funding cuts and bullying - soon they hope to say 'told yah so' and so to privatization
All part of the dumbing down of the ABC under Michelle Guthrie, an ex-Murdoch employee
So we question ABC & SBS about content! Please, would they prefer they make cheap rubbish like MAFS or shows that keep popping up on commercial TV! Leave them alone please for the sake of ppl that want to watch different mature content!
Since when do the ABC care about their charter responsibilities
Who gives a shit , it was set up by Turnbull and this government is history in about 10 weeks
Let me guess, it doesn't wash with the Nazi ethos.
. We need SBS to keep us all up-to-date with erotic Scandavian noir... Er, I mean, the subtler nuances of Hindi poetry...
Australian governments all levels getting too big, wasting tax payers’ hard earned money. Politicians promising to spend millions and billions like there is no tomorrow. ScottMorrisonMP TonyAbbottMHR michaeldaleyMP Australia
Defund ABC and SBS immediately.
Perfect opportunity to not give any more money to Van Badham and Dirty Beny Law ItaButtrose
Let me get this right. Some guy from Foxtel did a review on ABC/SBS and said their lifestyle programs are not core to their responsibilities so Foxtel can work on moving those content to Foxtel channels? I call this ridiculous.
The liberal party has already ruined sbs, this has to stop.
Yes. Just one or two food programs. Leave these to the commercials. We need programs that make for good citizens. Reporting and not advocating. Too much sport on both channels.
Not Murdoch enough?
*charter*? Here we go.

What Muffin Break whingers missedAfter a furious backlash over the Muffin Break general manager’s accusation that Gen Y Australians are no longer willing to work for free to advance their careers, a prominent news presenter has come to the defence of unpaid work experience. My son was keen to work in the music industry as a journalist. So he found some partime work while at the same time doing two days of internship. After six months he was offered full time employment. It can have its benefits for all involved. He did unpaid work in HIGH SCHOOL. He didn’t have rent to pay. He didn’t have bills. His living and financial situation allowed him to work for free. It can but only some can afford to do unpaid work

Cabinet reportedly approves Ita Buttrose for ABC chairPrime Minister Scott Morrison's cabinet has reportedly signed off on the appointment of Ita Buttrose as the ABC's next chair. Lets hope that the Paker and Murdock modus operandii have not rubbed off on her too much. She could turn out to be more dangerous than she looks. So that means she’s accepted the gig .. despite not being in the advised shortlist. Another captain’s pick. Another disaster in waiting pleasant change from previous chairs.
