The situation in relation to the ABC is a matter for ABC management and its board. So to suggest that it is the government's responsibility in some form is to miss the point. Indeed, what I would say to ABC management is that it is called the Australian Broadcasting Commission true reason. It is supposed to represent all of Australia. Under current management, you could be forgiven for thinking it is called 'the UBC, the Ultimo Broadcasting Corporation'. That is the problem here.
