"satisfy a community need." /......... you got it bacci. this is precisely the reason why the ABC is necessary. there are places around Aus where no other media is available (still? - maybe). ABC are responsible for warning residents of emergencies on flooding and fires. they are the largest provider of local news in (almost) every remote region.
and despite the beliefs of the right, a throwback from Howard's hatred of the ABC due to his perception of bias (which really means the ABC publishes material the Govt would prefer was never mentioned - such as "children overboard"). but even Howard respected the Abc and was certain of the need for the service.
