Like much of Australia's public good, our ABC has been weakened and corrupted by right-wing governments. Public sector media is (or should be) a substantial part of the nation's anti-corruption infrastructure. The cynic in me suspects that's why the ABC was attacked.

Given its evident significance, should the role of public sector media be enshrined in our Constitution?

@Drop_Bear the ABC has been intimidated by Liberal and Co through funding cuts and AFP intimidation, it's terrible to see.

It's an indicator of just how significant public sector media is in a modern Westminster Democracy. Our racist 19th century Constitution needs rewriting. Recognition of those who were here before colonisation is one thing that needs to be added. The role of public sector media is another.
