I totally agree. The ABC is not providing content for all Australians and hasn’t for decades. At one time with its left-wing bias it was playing to left-wing elites, which made more central thinking people like me turn off, but now It services the tiny fringe element which is even turning off longtime ABC devotees. It’s time to defund the ‘national broadcaster’ and chuck out all those overpaid ‘journalists’.

Smart enough - coming from an orange turd apologist 😂😂.

Make ABC, NITV and SBS a subscription service. It will reflect demand. Those that want it can subscribe.
