The ABC holds the government to account, regardless of which political party is in power.
Considering the constant incompetence by various governments, we absolutely need the ABC to keep an eye on them. Other media sources with political links won't.
Canberra is so disconnected from the community they need to be pulled into line. A perfect example is the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace. Parliament house should have had the highest standard, not one of the nations lowest.
It is an embarrassment on a global scale.
Btw. The ABC does much more than just keep recalcitrant, dinosaur politicians in line. They provide fantastic content for television, internet and radio right across the country . A worthy use of funds imv.
