they do generate income - they have a merchandising arm.

the political football bit is not generated by the abc but those vested in the argument for their own ends - hello ipa et al
the abc gets on with the job every day given the funds available.

why don't you look up recent inquiries into the abc? they happen all the time

in a world of trump, Brexit, news corp, etc, where media credibility is under sustained attack in democracies, I would've thought that relevance of the abc would be a no-brainer.

a bit of perspective, sheeesh
