They call ABC Aunty, for goodness sakes. She’s an old bag. Cut her some slack. She’s not the problem. She is one shriveled tentacle in the sclerotic gerontocracy smothering Australian life. These are decrepit legacy institutions. SBS — the ABC’s sister government channel — was started to give foreign-born Australians foreign-language content. And it’s expanded! They have their own streaming app! They still haven’t heard of the internet in these places. They don’t know YouTube exists. They demand your tax dollars to fund their little shows for foreigners in the age of the internet. That’s who you’re dealing with. Imagine demanding they compete with Reed Hastings of Netflix, approaching half a trillion dollar market cap, who himself admits they have no idea.
