As a kid, if the TV was on during dinner, there was no argument or negotiation about what we were watching. Ian Henderson and Kerry OBrien were in our lounge room nightly. I was raised on a diet of Mulligrubs, Bananas in Pyjamas, Play School, Lift Off and Round the Twist. My older sisters introduced me to Triple J (Thanks Catherine! Thanks Claire! You guys are ace!) My teenage years were spent listening to the radio and absolutely obsessing about music. I still have a stack of tapes somewehere with recorded snippets of Super Request and Live at the Wireless. I dont consider myself overly political, but I think pulling shit like this is totally unacceptable: youtu.be/wAHNXdHai0g Today there is a rally at Fed Square at 12.30. If youre right leaning, youre probably not going to appreciate Scott Ludlum or Bill Shorten being there. Thats fine. The fact is, Australias public broadcaster is facing huge budget cuts. A lot of people stand to lose their jobs and were facing a media controlled by Rupert and Gina. If you know the words to this song, get your hungover arse into the city: youtu.be/mybg0l2Alaw If you need anything else to motivate you, then theres this: youtu.be/8XbQsjRc7L0
