Government announces $40m a year funding boost for ABC (www.abc.net.au)

In short:

  • Federal government funding for the ABC will lift by more than $40 million a year from 2026-27.

  • Funding for the ABC and SBS will be decided for five years at a time, rather than three, to help prevent 'political interference' within the broadcasters.

What's next?

  • Laws to cement the new five-year funding deal still need to be drafted and consulted on, making it unlikely they could be acted on before the next federal election.
