About Us
ABC Friends NSW & ACT (Inc), was established in 1976 to defend the ABC against funding cuts. Since then, we have defended the ABC against threats from both Labor and Coalition governments to compromise its independence and reduce its funding. For more information see our Vision Statement and Constitution.
To achieve our aims we:
- make submissions to government
- lobby members of parliament
- provide informed comment about the ABC to the media
- hold discussions with the ABC Managing Director and Chairman of the Board
- address community groups
- organise activities in support of the ABC
- provide opportunities to socialise with like-minded people
- encourage members to make their views about the ABC known to their Federal Member of Parliament
- provide facilitation for members to engage with their local Federal MP
There are local branches of ABC Friends in many areas of NSW and the ACT. Contact your local branch if you want to become involved at a local level.
