Coalition moves against ABC independence

It shocks me that a personal friend of the PM's is about to
'head' the ABC. He hasn't had a chance to warm his chair (use his 
brain), yet plans are a foot to re-write the ABC's constitution.

Prior to the election, Howard displayed his phobia about the
ABC's attitudes towards him. Whether the ABC demonstrated skills in
prophecy, or maintained a small 'l' liberal stance, remains the
question now.

It appears that the PM's ideal ABC is a state run commercial
style station with about as much loyalty and funds for the more 
offbeat as the rest of our glorious media. In other words, if it
is not main stream then it is not worth having.

Please stop the ABC from becoming Another Bloody Commercial
channel.
