true, would be more sensible to make it a "real" federal tax instead of collection via a obnoxious semi-private entity.
while i have not owned a tv for the last two decades i still sometimes consume their content via internet or car-radio and would probably miss it if it wasnt available.
- marcus_holmes 6y agoIn Australia, the ABC is just funded out of general taxation, with no specific tax for it. That works a lot better. Triple-J (their "youth" music radio station) is an Australian cultural mainstay (or was; its relevance is fading), and I don't think anyone actually minds that some of their tax goes to support it. Except the usual right-wing conspiracy dicks who are mad that the ABC doesn't publish their shite.
