ABC SBS to be sold ?

[lakeland27]

The agenda for this months meeting of the Liberal party in melbourne includes the discussion topic of selling off the ABC and SBS. Why is this fervour for selling off public broadcasters suddenly on the agenda ?

do they fear the minutest amount of honest broadcasting, and do they think it a better media environment for them will exist if nobody out there is in any position to criticise ? its not as if the ABC are backing the other side of politics .. if anything the ABC has a distinct conservative tone to its news and current affairs programs these days.

So much for all the breast-beating around 'freedom of the press'

selling the public broadcasters is suppressing such freedoms surely ?

and Auspost too, based on the news reports I saw today

dear me, imagine what that will do in a monopolised field? auspost will kill off this place completely if they get their way.

As these pollies are really only caretakers of our public asset's I don't understand how they can sell them off for a quick $

They are not theirs to sell

Aust post makes money.. why would you sell an asset that contributes to general revenue ?

Anyone got a link to where the Liberals will sell Australia Post? How about a link where the Liberals say they will sell off the ABC and SBS.
