Why? A Coalition government doesn’t get one vote related to ABC viewership. This was the chance to do what needs to be done, and deliver the long overdue punishment to the ABC for its disgraceful behaviour and vendettas over the past decade. The Coalition will lose a lot of votes to genuine conservative candidates because of this ridiculous largesse.
