Malcolm Turnbull, and the famously fractious relationship they had with the public broadcaster
If Turdball’s relationship (and that of his leather jacket) with Their ABC was “fractious”, I shudder to think of what a warm relationship might have looked like.
No one will be watching.
‘Just switch channels’: Labor Minister Michelle Rowland urges Australian taxpayers to stop watching the ABC if they don’t like the content (Sky News, 25 Jul)
Your terms are acceptable.

The terms are not acceptable. Any program on Their ABC that has been switched off by 90% or more of the population must be permanently switched off, and replaced by a program that attracts more viewers. That is, under 10% of the viewing audience, bye, bye.
Those terms are acceptable.
Alas CL is relying on old news yet again.
The ABC is not and has never attempted to get ratings per se. That is why it is the ABC. Who do you think do public service announcements when there are floods or fires?
It has always has the most reliable and accurate news and always will. The commercial channels drool about this

The ABC is not and has never attempted to get ratings per se. That is why it is the ABC.
But it did at least attempt to present the news impartially. Not now.
Who do you think do public service announcements when there are floods or fires?
Text messages from emergency services are both quicker and more reliable these days. Even so, if you make an argument for Their ABC to be reduced to a source of emergency service messages, it might provide a useful supplement to more modern technology.

ROFLMAO. Only in your (wet) dreams.
Government agencies on Twitter and Facebook followed closely by people on the ground at the actual scene, then retard media organisations a distant last.
Meanwhile the ABC has from Brisbane yet another breathless expose of child abuse. Guess where? A Catholic school, Nudgee Colle, complete of course with religious insignias displayed for sneering. Not to mention that the brother in question was convicted and sentenced years ago.
I hold no brief for what passes for a Catholic school system nowadays, but the hypocrisy and political slant are breathtaking. Where, for example, are the similar exposes of the pederast orgies ABC legend Bill Hurrey, his ABC mates and others in Brisbane’s pervert underground used to host, with boys supplied from government orphanages by corrupt police? Where is the account of the prolific offending of state school teacher and leftist Labor MP Bill D’Arcy, for whom Beattie went to the High Court to protect the education department from liability, and to whom his government kept paying a parliamentary pension? It would, of course, be unseemly to mention such things.
you people are dense.
In an emergency people listen to the radio. we know from the bushfire RC the mobile phones did not work.
Even if they were working not every phone can get text messages nor is registered. on the other hand everyone is listening to the ABC to get the latest news and directions

Suuuuuure, whatever you say, oh great polymath genius who failed pre-school.
hahaha, ok boomer.

Snot, you’re hilarious.
Snot, you’re hilarious.
You could start a travelling show. Call it something like… Snot So. Your constant comedic partner could be Propsero.
You obviously don’t know anything about such announcements … else you would already know the urgent ones go out via mobile phone networks using the emergency SMS broadcast facility (part of all Aus networks) and the non-urgent messages are all up on the various Internet pages (e.g. RFS link below).
https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/fire-information/fires-near-me
The ABC has long been obsolete for such purposes.
Anyone who lives in a rural area already knows this. Heck, I only recently moved out of town and I already figured it out. Besides that, most areas have a local FM radio station that’s better if you want to listen to local updates.
Ahhh, you typed faster than I did.
No no, they would take the money and spend it on something else.
Point is that these days you have two completely separate things: the communications service (i.e. how to transport information around) and also the content (i.e. what to transport). Once the ABC had quite a good physical infrastructure for radio broadcast, but today there are many better options. Since digital radio and digital TV have come out, there has been far more available channel space than anyone knows what to do with.
In terms of content, the ABC aren’t great, and getting info direct from the relevant source without editorializing is guaranteed better … we simply don’t need news gatekeepers anymore. A small, local FM radio station is more likely to be staffed by people who live in the area, and actually care about local content. Then again, even a community Facebook page is generally better than the ABC.
Will they argue over splitting the bill?
If the Australian people had as much faith in ABC news and current affairs as the ABC ”s taxpayer-funded cheer squad claim, no political candidate to the right of Daniel Andrews would ever get a single vote from one end of the country to the other. Even Andrews is a bit suspect among the ABC worker soviet for bourgeois deviationism.

Sorry, I was too subtle. My intent was to reduce Their ABC to only an emergency service system. Everything else they do is already available on the Web or other broadcast services.
If you rely on the ABC for news, you will be literally dumber after each broadcast.

Clear evidence: all comments by Non Mentis.
Boambee:
Fair enough, but I think the ABC has a plan to keep the Program and replace 90% or more of the population.
Bertolt Brecht said something like that about the USSR.

The likely replacements are unlikely to show any great enthusiasm for current ABC programming. And they are much more likely to be willing to take action to stop it.
