Dont be fooled by the announced one per cent cut to base funding - TopicsExpress



          

Dont be fooled by the announced one per cent cut to base funding for the ABC (about $36m over 4 years) and think that its got off lightly. The real cuts will come later when the government responds to Turnbulls efficiency review. And there will be considerable budget flow-on from the abolition of the Australia Network. Besides the direct loss of jobs from the closure, Australia Network purchased its news and current affairs from the ABC, effectively paying for a good deal of ABC Newss expansion. Tony Walker spot on.
