ABC only for the educated
An interesting take on funding for the national broadcaster ABC:
"Parliamentary secretary for Family and Community Services, Ross Cameron, went further, proposing the ABC be floated and sold to the people of Australia, as he said it catered only to the educated and should not be financed by the rest of the population. "

Them Poms are far to smart for us Aussies , we could get a level above ourselves watching them well made BBC programs , stick to the low level Aussie soaps .
Ban all Brit TV from channel 7, 9,10 and SBS , then we would be left with a few Yank programs and a couple of Aussie soaps.
About time we bought in Chinese TV programs , big part of the population is not being looked after.

You can pick up some very good Aus programmes in Europe, eg good old Rexy Hunt's Fishing Adventures and Steve Irwin Fighting With The Dirty Crocs.
Aussie TV at its best.
And I mean that most sincerely.

One Australian made programme I do like is ABC's Australian Story. Most of the time I'm watching The Bill, period dramas - must be homesick!
