  • ANNUAL REPORT 2019 Revellers at New Year’S Eve 2018 – the Night Is Yours
    AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION ANNUAL REPORT 2019 Revellers at New Year’s Eve 2018 – The Night is Yours. Image: Jared Leibowtiz Cover: Dianne Appleby, Yawuru Cultural Leader, and her grandson Zeke 11 September 2019 The Hon Paul Fletcher MP Minister for Communications, Cyber Safety and the Arts Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Dear Minister The Board of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation is pleased to present its Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2019. The report was prepared for section 46 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013, in accordance with the requirements of that Act and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Act 1983. It was approved by the Board on 11 September 2019 and provides a comprehensive review of the ABC’s performance and delivery in line with its Charter remit. The ABC continues to be the home and source of Australian stories, told across the nation and to the world. The Corporation’s commitment to innovation in both storytelling and broadcast delivery is stronger than ever, as the needs of its audiences rapidly evolve in line with technological change. Australians expect an independent, accessible public broadcasting service which produces quality drama, comedy and specialist content, entertaining and educational children’s programming, stories of local lives and issues, and news and current affairs coverage that holds power to account and contributes to a healthy democratic process. The ABC is proud to provide such a service. The ABC is truly Yours. Sincerely, Ita Buttrose AC OBE Chair Letter to the Minister iii ABC Radio Melbourne Drive presenter Raf Epstein.

  • Submission on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Commitment to Reflecting and Representing Regional Diversity
    Submission on The Australian Broadcasting Corporation's commitment to reflecting and representing regional diversity Dear Sir/ Madam, I welcome this opportunity to comment on The Australian Broadcasting Corporation's commitment to reflecting and representing regional diversity within the terms of reference as set out by the Environment and Communications References Committee. Regional diversity and national identity will be diminished with the loss of the ABC Tasmanian Production Unit. Programs of high quality reflecting and representing regional diversity have been produced in Tasmania and include Auction Room, the extremely popular “Collectors” and “Gardening Australia” when it was hosted by Peter Cundall. These Tasmanian programs enabled national viewers to enjoy and appreciate the state’s distinctive heritage and culture. The Tasmanian bushfires were best reported by local journalists who have a personal understanding of the state; its people and conditions. The decision to cut ABC production in Hobart has met with opposition from 12 Federal Senators and the Premier, Lara Giddings who is unable to match funding from the State budget for Screen Tasmania to offset ABC cuts as requested by the ABC’s Managing Director (ABC, 2012)1. Similarly, Western Australia also has limited ABC production with the cessation of “Can We Help?” enjoyed by viewers over six years. The decline, according to Cassellas (2012), has been evident since 1985 when WA had a low but reasonable 7.8 per cent of ABC’s staff compared with just 5.4 per cent in 20122. Now the WA studio is mainly unused or hired out to companies like Screen West. By comparison, NSW had 49.2 per cent of the ABC’s staff last year.

    PerspectivesA LOOK BACK, and AHEAD. A N N UA L REPORT Allen C. Crocker, 1925–2011 Dr. Allen C. Crocker, a longtime member of May Institute's Board of Trustees, was a tireless advocate for the rights of individuals with special needs—or exceptionalities, as he would say. He lived his motto, “leave the campsite better than you found it.” We dedicate this Annual Report to his memory.

Prevailing wisdom blamed a mother’s lack of attachment to her child as the reason for the condition. Fear, shame, and a dearth of answers surrounded these families. When I joined the Institute in 1978, the organization consisted of that one small school for 38 children with autism.

  • ABC News Response to Editorial Review No. 5
    ABC News Response to Editorial Review No. 5 Higher Education Reform Bill Coverage, March 2015 ABC News welcomes the findings of Editorial Review Number 5 relating to coverage of the Federal Government’s Higher Education Reform Bill during March 2015. The reviewer concludes that the overall quality of the coverage across the ABC was satisfactory and that only one News segment was unsatisfactory and was not in accordance with the ABC’s guidelines for impartiality. The reviewer identifies a number of instances where he believes there were minor lapses and areas where ABC News should consider reviewing its practices. The comments are constructive and perceptive and News is pleased to have an opportunity to respond. News notes the conclusion that the ABC did a better job covering the day to day politics of the higher education debate during this period than in delivering in-depth analysis of the long term issues confronting the sector and that the coverage would have benefited from contributions from a wider pool of experts and institutions. To some extent, this is an inevitable result of the expectation to produce daily news and current affairs during a period dominated by shifting negotiations and events in Canberra. News accepts that there is room for improvement in this area and that it is crucial for the ABC to not just follow the debate, but to elevate it. Providing more insightful and contextual coverage of important issues has been identified as a goal in News' current content strategies. Both at a national and state and territory level, the investment in the National Reporting Team, state coverage producers and Digital Interactive Story-telling Team and the state digital producers should enable News to provide more insightful coverage across its platforms and output.
