Let the ABC Board know you will not accept Lateline or state-based 7.30 being axed. Email the ABC Board: [email protected] The Hon James Spigelman AC Chairman ABC Board Dear Mr Spigelman and ABC Board members The provision of independent news and current affairs is a key responsibility of the national public broadcaster. It is a crucial service to the nation and its citizens. The importance of the ABC’s valuable current affairs programs grows as the resources that other serious Australian media outlets dedicate to news and current affairs shrinks. Lateline’s unique combination of investigative reporting and in-depth interviews is invaluable. Australians rely on the state-based editions of 7.30 for insight and scrutiny of important state and local matters. You have my support to fight government funding cuts. I will not accept the flagship current affairs program Lateline being axed or the weekly state-based 7.30 edition being cut. Yours sincerely
