allowing the abc to become a commercial venture ruins its independence, a feature vital to any chance of a healthy democracy.
it is/has been also hugely important in the cultural and arts sectors which commercial enterprises have reduced to wall-to-wall reality shows.

on the other hand, the ipa is toxic, feudal, and self-serving - the worst of the patriarchy, designed for inequality and submission of anyone considered as 'the other'.
