jump to second paragraph starting. "Radio "piracy" began with the advent of regulations of the public airwaves..." I guess eventually everyone in Oz will be only allowed to visit abc.com.au and then be programmed to blame poor people or immigrants for everything

  Eh, the regulation of airwaves is necessary, though. Only one person can send at one time on one frequency, and often you also have interference on the frequencies around it.

    licences and content regulation come later. change happens over long periods of time. Governments change a few laws, then the next generation accept that as the norm, so they change a few more until they get what they want. ur right tho. this is a cool graphic. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/United_States_Frequency_Allocations_Chart_2011_-_The_Radio_Spectrum.pdf https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/United_S...

  It's http://abc.net.au http://abc.net.au, and they are actually one of the best news organisations in the country (constantly having their budget cut by the party that is currently in Government because it's 'too left wing' or not 'on Team Australia' because they have often reported the truth about the Government...). With this current Government, it's actually the Murdoch papers that look like propoganda straight from the politician's spin doctors. Especially Sydney's Daily Telegraph.

    not much about this subject on their site. apart from this link to a radio dude... http://www.abc.net.au/local/audio/2015/06/23/4260478.htm http://www.abc.net.au/local/audio/2015/06/23/4260478.htm I guess a slant against government is required by a government owned media agency to appear non biased?. altho I imagine they can't be any worse than channel 7
