Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth, the truth is that if 4 Corners disappeared, the ABC ( ie taxpayers) would have saved over $M 1 in payouts and legal costs alone over the past 12 months as a direct result of 1 particular activist reporter who should have been unceremoniously sacked a few years ago for her flimsy, evidence-free, hatchet job on George Pell.
The ABC has outlived its usefulness. In 2021 a public broadcaster makes as much sense as a state bank, a state airline or a state telco ..... all remnants of the last century.
The $ 1.3 Billion saved , plus savings from selling off SBS, would go a long way to building schools, hospitals and paying down debt.
