Why do we need the ABC and SBS? because, I don't want to watch Big Brother, Home and Away, The Spinster or is it Batchelor, really don't know. The ABC and SBS bring good honest TV to us all. Compare the shows on TV, look at the Commercial Channels actors, they are all beautiful and handsome, perfect in every respect and then compare them to the ABC and SBS shows which have average looking actors that can act and tell a story. The there is the news and truth that only the ABC and SBS have the guts to tell. Murdoch and his right wing cronies own the commercial channels, Abbot and his cronies want you to hear only what they want you to hear.
