More action to end adverts

Now that the election date has been announced, we’ve launched a NEW CAMPAIGN as a continuation of our early July theme to restore multicultural broadcasting; asking for more government funding for SBS and for the removal of advertising disruptions. However it will take more than a single campaign alone before any politician is going to promise to boost SBS funding and stop the ad breaks. This will be an ongoing campaign and your further support and participation is needed again.

The Rudd government didn’t deliver on SBS but maybe someone else will. Will it be Julia Gillard and the ALP or another party? Who will promise to rescue SBS and rid it of ads? Before an election, collectively we can all influence politicians. They want your vote and we want their promise to fix SBS. Call talkback radio and tell others about the campaign too at SaveOurSBS.org

Make the government accountable. Remember these words?

“The introduction of in program advertising to the SBS in effect makes the SBS a de facto fourth free-to-air commercial television station and serves to erode the fundamental tenets of public broadcasting- that is, that it should be free from commercial and political influence”. (Senator Conroy October 2007).

“Labor is committed to ensuring adequate funding and support for the SBS, to enable it to continue to provide Australians with high quality services, free from political and commercial interference”. (ALP November 2007).

“Labor has opposed and continues to oppose the decision by SBS to introduce in-program advertising”. (Kevin Rudd; Campaign Office of the ALP; and, Senator Conroy, November 2007).

Hold the government to account. Send a clear message and demand these things be honoured under the next government.

Put the “special” back into SBS. Rescue multicultural broadcasting.
