Why did you join ABC Friends? 🤔

We asked our members, and here's what they had to say..

#abcfriends #australianmedia

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

Australia, we need a fully funded ABC.

The ABC is our lifeline in times of crisis. We need candidates who support a fully funded ABC emergency service. #auspol

Australia, we need to ensure the continuation of a strong public broadcaster.

We call on candidates to support additional funding to ensure that high quality ABC services can be received by all Australians. #auspol

Australia, we need a strong, stable ABC.

To keep the ABC fully funded and adapted to real-world inflation, we need candidates who support a change of indexation for the ABC. #auspol

Australia, we need to restore the ABC’s funding.

For years, the ABC has had significant funding loss which has impacted content and jobs. We call on candidates to restore ABC funding in progressive phases. #auspol

Australia, we need to make sure the ABC stays independent.

We need candidates to ensure they support the ABC’s independence to ensure non-bias reporting. #auspol

We ❤️ seeing our hard-working members out and about. Victorian President Pam Creed recently caught up with ABC Alumni member Gael Jennings to discuss mobilising community and political support for our 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!
