the ABC will still be around long after we are dead and buried

the budget is miniscule.. when measured against the scope and depth of research, investigation and reporting that they conduct, Australia wide, across all platforms, it is just plain ignorance to think that $1B per annum is somehow 'excessive'

the BBC operate on a budget of approx 3.7B pounds stirling.. let's convert that to AUS.. approx $6.7B AUS

66 million people in the UK, 242,000km2 land mass .. so that's $100 AUS per person per annum to run the BBC..

24 million people in AUS, 7,692,000km2 land mass ... so that's $41 AUS per person, per annum to run the ABC

well well well, so it costs less than half, per capita to run the ABC in a country 31 times the size

Write a letter to the prime minister and see if they will refund your $41 so you can have a bit more spending money down at the pokies

Cue propaganda

You can't, with any sense of logic, use landmass in the context of this discussion, when it is abundantly evident, what everyone knows, that that a large majority of our landmass is uninhabitable.
