End the COMPULSORY ABC TAX - Make it OPTIONAL

The issue

Petition to make funding to ABC Australia outside Non Politically Biased - News, Kids, Australian made Drama/Comedy and Australian Sport on TV, Radio and Web - Optional for Australian taxpayers rather than Compulsory as it is now.

TV Shows including Opinion like - Insiders, 4Corners, ABC730 and News Breakfast have become increasingly editorially biased - cherry picking stories, guests and presenters that continually favour one side of politics over multiple shows with an ever shrinking fig leaf of plausible deniability. 

Radio National - RNBreakfast and RNDrive have cherry picked stories which favours one side of politics. ABC State, Metropolitan and Regional Radio has Presenters delivering a more blatant political bias on a continual basis. Triple J News sounds like it's been edited and scripted by the Greens

ABC Online has similar political bias issues as above

And some ABC shows such as QandA and The Drum have become so politically lopsided I consider both of them to be a crash write off 

I don't want to shut down the ABC - but I do want to get it back on track like it was before the start of this Century sitting in the middle of the political see saw not on one end like it is now.
