Our ABC is facing death by a thousand cuts – totalling over half a BILLION dollars – from the Liberals who can’t handle the public broadcaster doing its job and holding those in power to account. Sadly, our democracy is going to be far worse off for it.

Not only has the Morrison Government failed to restore the millions of dollars of funding they have cut from the ABC year after year, there is now no future funding for the Enhanced News Gathering program.

The ABC has been a vital source of information during the pandemic and helped save lives during the catastrophic summer bushfires immediately before that.

To do its job as the public expects, to continue producing the new Australians trust and the stories we love, the ABC must be well-funded. 

The ABC needs allies, now more than ever.
