Hear hear! I've just watched Kerry O'Brien interviewing Richard Alston 
(ersatz Communications Minister who reminds me of Pooh Bear - very little 
brain) on the 7.30 report re the ABC having 10% of its budget cut. Kerry 
posed some pretty damn pert questions (not to mention verbatim examples) 
of the Coalition reneging on its election promises with regard to the 
ABC, but, undeterred, our worthy Comms Minister refused to be baulked by 
fact....What *is* it with this Government? Didn't we have enough economic 
rationalism in the '80's?? Haven't they yet learnt that economic 
viability does not necessarily equate with virtue/success/prosperity? 
Must they be forever measuring progress - cultural, artistic, social - in 
commercial terms? First Vanstone, now bloody Alston. First up against the 
wall when the revolution comes....
