Does anyone have the salary structure for "Our ABC" ?
I don't think people wouldn't be too far off the mark by assuming the ABC salaries are too high for value in return !

It appears that the revamped "Insiders" program is
trying out new faces. And that the decision regarding
Gerard Henderson had nothing to do with his
conservative views.

Executive producer Sam Clark was unable to guarantee
Gerard Henderson any appearance in the future on the
program when asked to do so - therefore Henderson sent him
an "au revoir" response.

Sources suggest that Henderson did not sufficiently engage
\with the issues during the journalists' discussions.

Personally, I think that is a shame. I found the stouches
between David Marr and Gerard Henderson on the program
very entertaining. They were well-matched and good viewing.

It shall be interesting to see who the new conservative
voices are going to be.

More than 80% of Australians trust the ABC compared to
average trust of 57% for commercial media.

The ABC costs 19.2 cents per person per day and what
they deliver over a wide spectrum is amazing.

Foxy,

Nobody pays a cent for any of the other radio or TV networks why on earth is the ABC different? Why can't they pay their own way?

Shadow Minister,

Perhaps because more than 80% of Australians trust the
ABC compared to average trust of 57% for commercial media.
And most Australians think the 19.2 cents per person per
day for the wide range they deliver is well worth the
cost. They prefer a national broadcaster that is
independent from vested interests.

Foxy,

I would be happy if the Australians who wanted to watch the ABC paid for it. I am watching my independent Sky news.
