> The only real way out of the impasse is to campaign for a decommodified, baron-free media under public ownership and democratic control. Frustratingly, we have this in Australia, and it’s bloody good. The ABC (Australian Broadcasting Commission) is ad free, government funded TV and radio, available nationally. But of course the government attempts to cut or limit their budget. The most recent was ‘not a budget cut’, but rather froze their funding, to let inflation do the work. My only hope in this current debacle is that it makes a loser of Facebook, NewsCorp and Scott Morrison. Any other result is a loss for the people, Australian or otherwise.
