The ABC has the most consistent coverage of Aboriginal issues. I guess its like appointing Ruddock to be 'Reconciliation Minister'. When you want to destroy something you have to appoint an expert. Trudy Entertainment 8:37 am AEST October 13 2000 ABC news budget to be slashed: report AAP -- The ABC's news and current affairs budget for television, radio and online will reportedly be slashed by up to $10 million. The budget cuts will be made to pay for managing director Jonathan Shier's radical and expensive restructure of the national broadcaster, The Australian newspaper reports today. According to the paper, the bill for Mr Shier's hand-picked executives - earning up to $250,000 per year - recruitment psychologists, headhunters, large payouts to sacked executives and complex new structure have led to the budget blowout. The report says the ABC board is expected to approve on October 25 Mr Shier's first internal budget - which at least two of his new team have described as "horrendous". The budget is understood to include significant cuts to programming, resources, acquisitions and local production. -- ********************************** 'Click' to protect the rainforest: Make the Rainforest Site your homepage! http://www.therainforestsite.com/ ********************************** -- ********************************** 'Click' to protect the rainforest: Make the Rainforest Site your homepage! http://www.therainforestsite.com/ ********************************** ------------------------------------------------------ RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words: unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."
