Restore funding

Restore ABC funding by $140 million per year to be phased in progressively over a 3-year period commencing in 2026.

Australia needs a bold investment in our public broadcaster to guarantee its future as a fearless presenter of quality news and original Australian content.

A renewed, vital ABC supporting quality and creativity

An agile, flexible ABC that’s willing to take risks

An ABC that offers content for Australians of all ages and backgrounds, regardless of where they live or how they access news and entertainment

We need an ABC that entertains our kids with great Aussie characters.

We need more arts and science programs, more history and documentaries. And more Australian drama.

An investment in the ABC is an investment in Australia’s future as a creative, innovative nation.

It’s an investment in our democracy. An investment in our national identity.

A public broadcaster for all Australians

Provide additional funding to ensure that high quality ABC services can be received by all Australians across the country.

An independent ABC

Guarantee the ABC’s independence.

Stability and certainty
