Belly,

So you admit that ABC news is "skewed". Thanks for your honesty - very rare from Left dogmatists.

The abc is often a national security risk and a national disgrace. And to think I am paying for it.

The ABC should not be privatised.

Having a source of news and music that is not contaminated by advertisements, is indispensable.

However, the ABC should be included in a list of tax-funded institutions that tax-payers could elect (by ticking boxes in their tax-return) to not fund. Those who choose not to fund the ABC should be expected never to listen, watch or read it.

runner,

I like some of the drama programs on the ABC, but I do not think Australian taxpayers - most of whom do not use the ABC- should be paying for them.

"Having a source of news and music that is not contaminated by advertisements, is indispensable", you believe, Yuyutsu. I don't like advertisements either; but there is no fair reason why people who don't use the ABC (most Australians) should pay for the lack of commercials. SBS was pulled off the public teat, and they advertising in a much better way than the commercials do. Commercial-free entertainment is dispensible when it is provided by a non-competitive government department.

At 14 cents a day - you're getting a bargain.
And complaining about it is petty and small not to mention
narrow-mindedness.

How much are we paying our politicians a day?
