ABC backers cry foul on budget funds
Community advocates for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation had hoped the Morrison government would restore some funding in its latest budget.
www.sbs.com.auI don’t have live access to up-to-the-minute sources in this turn, so I can’t fetch the latest ABC budget news directly. If you’d like, I can summarize the most recent widely reported developments I’m aware of and point you to where to check for the latest updates.
Key recent themes around ABC funding (as of last reports):
- SomeBudget cycles have included targeted increases or commitments to ABC funding over multi-year periods, but final allocations often depend on the current government’s Budget and portfolio statements. For example, past updates described funding boosts in multi-year tranches and ongoing indexation to help offset costs. If you want exact figures for 2026–27 and beyond, those will be in the most recent Budget papers or the ABC’s Portfolio Budget Statements.[2]
To get the latest news now:
- Check major Australian outlets’ budget coverage around the annual Budget release (usually May) and the mid-year economic update (MYEFO) for any announcements affecting the ABC.
- Look at the ABC’s own newsroom and the Infrastructure or Finance department portfolio budget statements for precise numbers and forward estimates.
