ABC News (Australia)

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) is the national broadcaster of Australia, established in 1929. It receives most of its funding from direct grants provided by the Australian government, while maintaining a clear independence from governmental influence and political affiliations. The ABC is a key player in promoting journalistic freedom and has significantly shaped the broadcasting landscape in Australia. Inspired by the BBC in the UK, which is government-owned, the ABC initially relied on fees collected from users of broadcast equipment. However, these licence fees were phased out in 1973 and were largely replaced by government grants, along with income generated from its commercial ventures tied to its broadcasting activities. Today, the ABC offers a range of services including radio, television, and online content, catering to audiences in both urban and rural parts of Australia, as well as internationally through ABC Australia and Radio Australia. Its main office is located in Ultimo, a central suburb of Sydney, New South Wales.

    Claude Robinson is the manager of Rainbow Lodge, a home in inner Sydney for men just out of prison. Claude knows the place well because nearly 20 years ago he was sent there himself. At the time, Claude was a heroin addict who did crime to pay for his habit and wound up in a minimum security jail. Then after he assaulted a prison guard, he ended up in one of Australia's toughest prisons - Goulburn Correctional Centre.

    Jane Hume has declared Sussan Ley's election as opposition leader marks the beginning of a "new era" for the Liberal Party. Ley narrowly defeated opponent Angus Taylor for the top job during a meeting of the Liberal party room in Canberra on Tuesday. But the Liberal frontbencher was asked if the new leader would be dusting off the election post-mortem Hume authored following the 2022 election loss.
