Years of funding cuts have made it increasingly difficult for the ABC to perform its job as Australia’s independent public broadcaster. Trusting media and news sources has become increasingly difficult and streaming and online platforms mean that a lot of our news, current affairs and entertainment come from international companies and media conglomerates.

The ABC plays a key role in independently supporting Australia’s democracy and telling Australian stories. ABC Friends have a petition calling on all politicians and candidates to support a fully funded ABC ahead of the next Federal election. More information and sign the petition > HERE.
