Today I bussed into Ultimo wearing my wattle yellow Australian Democrat T-shirt to support along with a crowd of over 100 at a public meeting at our ABC.
Three proposals were adopted without dissent. (1) We supported the position of an ABC staff elected Director of the ABC Board; (2) We proposed an inquiry into the governance of the ABC with a view to ending the politicisation of the National Broadcaster; (3) We called upon the ABC Board to explicitly endorse the continued non-commercial character of the ABC opposing both advertising and sponsorship of ABC programs and services.
The meeting was chaired by John Cleary with the first proposal presented by Quentin Dempster. Other ABC "icons" were there in the form of Robyn Williams, Liz Jackson, Tim Bowden and I am sure many others.
