"The election campaign is well underway and the ABC is barely registering as an
issue. Why is that, when according to the Morrison government’s own figures,
the ABC’s real funding will continue to decline over the next three years?

Not that the government acknowledges this.

“The evidence is clear,” communications minister Paul Fletcher declared in
February. “The Morrison government has provided strong and consistent support
to the ABC.”

This is a breathtakingly misleading statement."
