Years ago the Australian Broadcasting Commission ran a campaign mentioning that the cost to the Australian taxpayer of having the ABC was just 8c a day. For that 
we got free TV, domestic radio networks, Radio Australia, state orchestras and a host of other benefits. Rene and I get our 8c a day's worth, and more. This incredibly diverse organisation runs free to air TV (3 stations nationally), many radio networks, develops many original concepts that are later bought by commercial rivals, and above all does an e
xcellent job of providing coverage for all Australians via regular airwaves and the internet. Last week their two major TV networks changed their names (like many overseas countries have done) to ABC1 and ABC2, as well as resurrecting ABC kids, in preparation for a raft of new digital networks currently in the planning stage. I'm a huge fan of 'Auntie'. Long may she live!
