ABC FUNDING SHOULD BE VIA SUBSCRIPTION ONLY
By

Along with many others, I haven’t watched or listened to the ABC for many years.
The rubbish they produce frankly isn’t worth watching or listening to and, more importantly, their totally biased left-wing reporting is a complete turnoff – literally
Many people fervently believe that this
Abusive, Biased Collective should be totally restructured.
It’s unfair that all taxpayers should have to contribute the enormous amount of money allocated to the ABC – in excess of $1,000,000,000 per annum – when so many of us want absolutely nothing to do with them.
The ABC should be required to raise their funds via subscriptions from those who support them – not from those that don’t.
They should be brought into line with other subscription-based media entities such as Foxtel, Stan and Netflix.
People living in remote areas who depend on the national broadcaster for its news and weather reports could, if necessary, be financially supported.
Let’s hope our next Prime Minister, Peter Dutton, adds this to his list of ‘things to do’ once in office.
It’s appropriate and necessary and way past time to do so.
