The ABC is a vital part of Australia's political and education system. Kids grew up with ABC shows, and still do. As far as news goes they have the best investigative journo's in the country who regularly uncover all sorts of corruption and illegal activity. Example is 4 corners which is the best by a country mile for exposing crooks and illegal activity. The weight loss drugs being trafficed from Oz, The recent Chinese spy revelation, Uncovering abuse in private schools, Squeezing the Woollies CEO to the point of him walking out. So many ABC stories have been the basis for public outrage and resulted in royal commissions or enquiries. No other outlet in the country can lay claim to such professionalism . It would be a very sad day for the nation if the ABC was put out to pasture, with democracy and accountability suffering severely.
