Welcome to Friends of the ABC TAS
Friends of the ABC is a community organisation which depends on the support of its members. FABC engages in a range of activities. These include informing the public and the media, presenting submissions to government reviews and inquiries, communicating with Members of Parliament, addressing public meetings, conducting rallies and publishing a newsletter. The objectives of Friends of the ABC are to support the maintenance and advancement of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC):
- to fulfil to a high standard its role as an independent, comprehensive, national public broadcaster,
- to be adequately funded by Government to fulfil its role,
- to remain independent of government influence, commercial sponsorship and advertising, and
- to promote Australian culture in all its diversity.
Further information on Friends of the ABC's objectives are available in our Vision Statement.
