Remember when the Liberal Government declared "no cuts to the ABC?" That was a lie.
Since then the Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison Government has slashed funding many times and they've lined up another $83.7 million in cuts to kick in this year.
An article in the Sydney Morning Herald this week detailed "inevitable job cuts and program disruption" if Scott Morrison is re-elected on 18 May.
We can expect more of the same cuts and chaos from his budget, which gives a $77 billion handout to the top end of town, but fails to reverse funding cuts to our national broadcaster.
Labor will save our ABC.
A Shorten Labor Government will provide $40 million to the ABC and $20 million to the SBS over three years to boost Australian content and stories on Australian screens.
We understand the importance of the ABC as a trusted news source, and provider of quality Australian content.
We will support the ABC by restoring every cent of the $83.7 million in cuts, providing a $60 million funding boost, protecting ABC independence and keeping the ABC in public hands.
