Thanks Peter Fenwick (and Tony Abbott) for the article. Kudos.

It's obvious that tax payers and their government gatekeeper need to reduce funding to the ABC (Aunty) as they don't serve the interests of the tax payers. When will the Labor government take responsibility for the interests of Australians- rather than special interests- probably never.

C.M. Disagree with your take on the ABC. It's not the funding model which is the problem but the CEO. Ida Buttrose has made the ABC look like a new version of the women's weekly.

And has not remained impartial on the voice. But given the invited panel discussions, clearly, has come down on the side of the yes campaign?

Ok so one in two Aboriginals live on around $500.00 a week but so do many white Australians. Billions have been poured into Aboriginal communities. Where has all this money gone?

And intergenerational trauma has to also apply to all those Australians brought here in iron chains after they had been dispossessed of their culture, language, heritage and homelands.

It seems that Alan B is another one who refuses to believe that the ABC as a tax payer funded entity needs to have the mandate of the people.

I have yet to hear or see anyone from the ABC speaking up in support of the No side.
If that's not an indication of bias, what is !
