Australia, we need to keep the ABC free.

We need candidate guarantees that the ABC will remain free-to-access for all Australians, no matter where they are.

This means no ads, no subscriptions and no downgrading. #auspol

In 2013-14 the ABC screened 1060 hours of original content on its main channel. By 2022-23 that had declined to 630 hours, a drop of 41%. Join our call to all candidates in this election to fully fund the ABC.

ABC Radio showcased incredible local talent at their live broadcast from the Port Fairy Folk Festival back on Saturday, March 8! 🎶✨
Leah Senior (Anglesea) and Flynn Gurry (Warrnambool) were among the artists featured. Proof of why we need a strong regional ABC to support and amplify local voices!

🗳️ Australia needs a fearless, independent ABC. Our public broadcaster must be protected from political and commercial pressures—and your vote can help. 📺💙

Before you vote, research where your local MP and candidates stand on ABC funding and independence. Make an informed choice for a stronger ABC!

📰 ABC independence under threat? Journalist Antoinette Lattouf’s removal raises serious concerns. Public trust in the ABC depends on its ability to stand firm against external pressures. Read more:

📢 Did you know? Despite rising costs and increasing demand for quality journalism, ABC funding has been cut by over $780 million since 2014. Less funding means fewer programs, fewer journalists, and less investigative reporting. 💰📉

A strong, independent ABC needs proper funding.
