  1. Why wouldn’t you just have the test pattern? and “We are on strike” on repeat?

    BBC World Service isn’t so bad. To their credit they actually do a lot of stories on countries and situations that don’t get a lot of coverage in traditional media like African wars and Myanmar.

    Oh no. This is a real shame. Please ABC I am not sure what I am going to do without your endless slop pro government propaganda. It would be a real tragedy if you never returned to work and we were no longer subjected to your activist journalism. I sure hope the funding issue is resolved soon. I’m feeling some independent thoughts coming on. Plus how will I get my daily reminder that the US is bad. Please get back to work soon.

    Well I’ll be honest, it was refreshing to see some of the BBC stuff. Probably would have been more of a threat to just leave the test screen on.

  5. The only way out of it is for ABC to sack some people to increase the pay for those who are left.

    Or are they trying to force the government to give ABC more money?

  6. BBC programming is great

    Maybe they should just sack the ABC completely and keep broadcasting a channel that makes some effort and gets some bang for the taxpayer’s buck

  7. I don’t understand why the people in this comment section are cheering for the gutting of our national broadcaster, and it’s replacement with another nation’s broadcaster, whose nation historically hasn’t had our best interests at heart

  8. Firs time ever I actually felt like staying on ABC24 for some interesting insightful news, mostly on the Iran War & Petrol.
