Government is to decide SBS’s funding fate for the next three years on 8 May. SBS needs more funding and your support for the Bill * now before the Senate to become law. If passed, the Bill will phase out in-program commercial breaks on SBS-TV by 2016 and establish a scheme for increased funding for SBS. ,Malcolm.Turnbull.MP@aph.gov.au,Senator.Ludlam@aph.gov.au,?bcc=stats2012client1@saveoursbs.org,&subject=&body=“> Send your email here# to the Minister, Shadow Minister, Senators, & MPs urging them to vote in favour of the Bill.
Say why you want increased funding for SBS and the Bill to become law that will phase out the disruptive in-program breaks on SBS-TV by 2016. You can also send a separate email to the Prime Minister here. Below is an example, but best in your own words.
Don’t be anonymous. Any email to a politician is only noted if the senders name and postal address is included in the email.
After you have sent your email, we recommend you sign this on-line letter which is independent from Save Our SBS. The letter will be sent by the CPSU to the Minister and your local MP. It seeks increased funding for SBS to end the commercial interference and outsourcing of SBS. This letter is as important as your email above.
If the Bill fails to become law and there is not a significant increase in public funding, the future of SBS may be uncertain. Don’t delay! Tell your friends to visit SaveOurSBS.org and help make SBS special again.
