The licence was to fund the ABC but people were objecting on the grounds that they claimed that they only watched commercial stations. The Whitlam Government abolished the licences because they believed that all people should have access to non partisan media in a Western democracy. Ironic that today most of us pay for entertainment content because the free to air channels have a plethora of crap eg reality shows.

Yes, it's past time to reconsider how ABC should be funded because the same thing applies today: many people don't avail themselves of ABC services & see no reason why it should be funded from taxpayers' money.

Yes it was abolished by the Whitlam Gov but Governments still need the revenue so Governments just increase a current tax or create a new revenue source.

Ironically, with the notable exception of the ABC and SBS, who are still celebrated for High quality journalism like 4 Corners, Foreign Correspondent and Media Watch, and home-grown shows such as The Newsreader, Total Control and Rake.
