Keep Up the Pressure re ABC Board legislation 23 February 2010 FABC strongly supports the Rudd Government’s bill that deals with appointments to the Boards of the ABC and SBS, and has proposed some amendments it believes will enhance it. Meanwhile, we are urging FABC members and friends to contact members of the Opposition AND Senator Fielding to join with the Government in demonstrating respect for Australia's foremost cultural institution and recognition of its importance to the community.

Bernard Keane in Crikey took a different view, but perhaps not as anti-ABC as normal |
