You can't believe somethings you hear on radio. Like the supposed
offer by Alston appealing to the democrats and greens..............
to give extra funding to the abc if the media deregulation ownership
bill is allowed to pass the senate........... huh?
Of course the abc is the publicity machine for the dremocrats and
greens and the labor party. So the offer may prove to be attractive to
the loopy left.
The sheer diversity of other media available to the public for free
speech in 2003 means that the bill should be passed.It will strengthen
our media and build more jobs
As for the abc, whilst i appreciate the sentimental opinions expressed
here, you would not lose the programs you like.
The body to replace the ABC which I have called Austalia ON AIR (like
the nz model) would not have its own transmitters but would produce
programs like the 730 report, 4 corners and landline for showing on
sbs,commercial and community television.
Program buried on the abc would have the opportunity to reach a much
wider audience
You have seen some of the Film Australia content shown on the abc so
creativity would actually be enhanced
radio australia would be run by foreign affairs as well as asia
pacific television
It can be done
It will save a billion dollars a year. we could use the money to build
our northern cities (broome-kunanurra-darwin-mt isa- cairns-cooktown)
on nuclear defense, medicare, or to be able to keep paying old age
pensions etc
the sale or tender price would be massive and could help the telstra
shortfall. It would be interestig to see what it woulkd bring
all as simple as abc
