there are no cuts. Announced in 2018, a pause in the indexation of the ABC’s funding has reduced the budget by $84 million over three years and resulted in an ongoing reduction of $41 million a year from next year. This is on top of $64 million of ongoing cuts imposed in 2014. Operational funding will be more than 10 per cent lower in 2021-22 than it was in 2013.
The ABC, of course, is more than its journalism, and journalism is much more than the ABC. But repeated surveys confirm that the ABC is Australia’s most trusted news source – and it is also one of, if not the, biggest employers of journalists. It is a massively imperfect institution, but it offers an opportunity for a different, and better, trajectory than the fractured politics of the USA.
The ABC’s five-year plan, also released this week, is effectively the broadcaster’s response to Tonagh, and its message to the taxpayers about how it will manage. It is a disappointingly thin document – just 46 pages including pictures and appendices – but it included some clear priorities, with one of them being to shift to delivering “personalised digital experiences”. This is part of the context for canning the iconic 7.45 am radio news bulletin.
The Tonagh review also recommended a refocussing of the ABC and SBS on charter activities – hence recommended cuts to lifestyle journalism at the ABC, the five-year plan largely adopts that approach, but has responded to the suggestion of cutting channels by effectively saying “maybe, but not yet”. The ACCC Digital Platforms Inquiry last year recommended a range of measures, including direct grants for rural and regional publications – which the government has acted on. More is needed.
Blatant bullshit like Morrison's words won't get reported without quality media like the Herald and the ABC
That’s how he wants it
Good
PLEASE no more euphemisms. Just say LIE.
Unfortunately in the last 4 weeks ScottMorrisonMP has reverted to type ...Hawaiian holiday remorse didn’t last long enough and he’s back to his old smug self not listening to the Australian people .
We are led by a Trump follower, Scotty should go live in America, he would feel right at home, Trump & Hillsong, he would be right at home.
He's lying, and not for the first time either. Yet the dumbest country on the planet outside America laps up his shit like it's icecream.
Because we are too busy being bunch of self leathers or too scared to be ourselves because we are told to change to suit the needs or minorities and immigrants FFS!
How could we 'know ourselves as a nation', when we're so mongrelised by multiculturalism that we can hardly remember who we used to be, let alone recognise who we are now?
Murdoch country, trump country. Some things never change.
For an industry that researches itself out the Wazoo when will you face the Elephant? Almost the entire entertainment and media industry have used your bully pulpits to tell Mums&Dads how to think Spoiler - it's not working Internet News Channels are more balanced
Globalist media deserves to shrink . . . news has devolved into ideology . . . get woke go broke!
🍕🍕PIZZAGATE 》》》 GO GOOGLE IT NOW🍕🍕 SAVE THE CHILDREN
No, the taxpayer is just not responsible for pushing the far lefty abc agenda, make it a paid service
Lies, spin over facts, ignorance, corruption, arrogance, denial and obstruction. Fossil Fools.
One billion or more than enough thank you!
...one moves with the times; if a government funded media organisation becom s the private mouthpiece for the left at the expense of the right then what does it represent?; A bad investment...DefundTheABC
He lies with the truth

Still waiting for the belt in the mail from Hawaii 🤦🏻♂️ NoScroMo
We know who we are. We also know who you tell us we are. They don't match up.
MinhKular 90% of our media is a sounding board for the LNP. Most of us gave up on the media ages ago. We can do a better job ourselves, thanks anyway. next !!
