Unlike its first 20 years when the ABC was a pioneering broadcaster, all the material it broadcasts nowadays is available from alternative sources. Consequently, there is no longer any justification for taxpayer funding of the ABC.
As proposed in the UK in respect of the BBC, future funding of the ABC should be by way of subscription from its watchers/listeners. This would result in the significant benefit of reducing the federal budget deficit by at least $1.2 billion per year.
