#TVlicences in #Australia were officially #abolished on 18 September 1974 by the #Whitlam Government. The abolition ended over 50 years of licensing, with funding for the #ABC shifting to general #taxpayer revenue. The decision was driven by the high costs of #policing #compliance and the #inequity of the fees across the community. #auspol #UKpol
