BBC Worldwide’s Australia & New Zealand operations have made a 9.9% increase in headline profit this year, according to the UK broadcaster’s Worldwide’s Annual Review for 2016/17.

This government should be investing in the ABC so it can grow profits abroad. We have so much talent here, some great shows on the ABC, Ronny Chieng, Utopia, Rosehaven… all shows I know would be well received in UK.
