Mates and I are headed to one of their offices to cheer them on at the 11am walk-out tomorrow (I can take an early lunch break for it). I also heard there might be some action on Thursday, I'll try my best to get to that.

(If anyone else is able to support them in person, let me know and I'll get the details and forward them)

I just found the MEAA strike fund page, share it around and throw something in if you can: https://www.meaa.org/news/support-abc-staff-standing-up-for-quality-public-broadcasting/

with widespread news disruption

"news" - That does not mean what they think it means...

This is Australia not the USA's ABC, not sure if that makes a difference.

Ah, thanks... I know nothing of the Australia ABC...

It's ok but I'd regard it as center right after years of fuckery from the LNP. You just have to look at the Lattouf incident

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-24/antoinette-lattouf-costs-decision-in-abc-unlawful-termination/105810052

and its coverage if our left party The Greens is appalling, while a lot of sucking up to the loony ONP

It's closest to the PBS in the US and the BBC in the UK I guess, and certainly not dissimilar to the BBC and their similar fawning obsequiesness to Reform.

The ABC in Australia was the original ABC before the Americans copied us. Kind of like the Office.
