Image: Ben King / Porchlight Films Letter to the Minister 9 September 2020 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 2020. 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 9 September 2020 and provides a streamlined, yet full, overview of the ABC’s performance and delivery in line with its Charter remit. The ABC walked beside Australians through the stress, fear and change of late 2019 and early 2020, a time full of uncertainty. It provided constant support for audiences with its wide-ranging and comprehensive news coverage, and help and distraction through quality discussion, entertainment, music, children’s content and specialist services. We adapted to our new operating circumstances expediently, while facing our internal challenges head on. There can be no better example of the ABC’s dedication to Australian stories, culture and experience than its activities throughout 2019-20. I trust you will find the same reflected within this report. Sincerely,

  • ABC Submission to Creative and Cultural Industries
    ABC Submission on the Australian Government’s “Inquiry into Australia’s Creative and Cultural Industries and Institutions” October 2020 • The ABC is at the heart of Australia’s creative and cultural industries, which deliver significant economic and social benefits for Australian society. As an engine of creative development, employment and innovation, the ABC helps to support and promote these industries in line with its Charter obligations. • The ABC contributes economic benefits as a significant employer of content makers, through partnerships/interactions with other organisations (including in the screen, music, arts sectors), and through regional production and events. It also contributes broader social benefits by: providing a national platform upon which local artists and content makers can be “discovered”; as a primary way for audiences to discover and enjoy Australian creative and cultural content; and by supporting Australian storytelling (whether through the screen, music, written word or other creative outlets) and events that contribute to our national identity. • COVID-19 has had a significant impact on live performance and the broader creative and cultural industries. In line with its Charter requirement to encourage and promote the musical, dramatic, and other performing arts in Australia, the ABC has found additional ways to support Australian artists and creatives impacted by the COVID- 19 pandemic. • The Australian Government has a range of policy tools at its disposal to support the activities of Australia's creative and cultural industries and institutions. Some have recently been deployed in response to the challenges presented by COVID-19. Adequate and sustainable funding for public broadcasters remains one of the most direct and proven ways to help support and sustain these industries and institutions.
