I can only assume it’s a prelude to requiring an account like iview (guess who doesn’t watch abc anymore) for Metrics and licensing fees.

I’d rather we just fund the broadcaster and make it easy to use hey? A modern browser is not a default piece of software to have running. They’re some of the most bloated and ridiculous things that exist.

This country is fucking stupid, the government just repeatedly self owns by not understanding the purpose of providing easy and free access to state services. Having a national broadcaster to create a sense of community and shared purpose, and to lift up and inspire your citizenry along the safe lines you desire is like a really good thing if you’re a centralising bureaucrat.

Neoliberal business brain will be the end of community.
