Labor’s Kristy McBain will prioritise ABC jobs: Albanese

Opposition leader Anthony Albanese says Eden-Monaro candidate Kristy McBain will prioritise ABC jobs if she is successful at this weekend’s by-election. “This Saturday is a chance to send a message to this government,” he said. “Send a message that the performance hasn’t been good enough on these issues. “Send a message that ABC cuts should be reversed and that funding should be restored and they can do that by voting number one for Kristy McBain – someone who will stand up for this community.” The public broadcaster last week announced it would cut up to 250 jobs from across the country in a bid to save money after going millions of dollars over budget. Following the decision, Arts Minister Paul Fletcher said the ABC board had statutory independence and the decision to cut jobs rested squarely on the board’s shoulders.
