According to News Corp the losses will be part of a voluntary redundancy scheme.
Poor old ABC having their funding (free money) frozen for a year….
Meanwhile in the real world.
Cry me a river, ABC.
The Advertiser exists to sell ads. It’s not doing that job as well. So it’s no wonder it’s got less money to spend.
The ABC exists to inform and entertain people. It’s probably not doing that job as well either (I imagine Australians’ total consumption of it is dropping given the increase in other options). So it should probably also have less money to spend too.
The difference is that the ABC believes it’s in it’s interests to talk about this.
Adelaide photographers and top end creative talent now freelance need to contact me! We need to keep good people working.
So the quality of that rag The Advertiser (aka The AFL Daily) is going to fall even further (if that’s at all possible).

Very sad to see from what I’ve heard 40 finance positions being made redundant being referred to only a “number” of positions by news
I’d hazard a guess that next round is gonna come from sales. With revenue and profit crashing down, I don’t see how they can maintain headcount.
