DPF, I think that’s the whole point. Cancel the state funding, cancel WFF and slash tax rates. I think the term is “revenue neutral”. I do not nor, nor ever will, vote for any flavour of pink, and I’m pretty upset about the pink hues that are overlaying the current blue-tinted lot. I would rather not have someone decide for me which political party I donate to; if I don’t vote for them, why should I fund them?

Ele – it’s a bit like Working for Families. Once you have given them money, it is harder to take it away!

We’ve had the broadcasting allocation for several decades, so I’m pretty happy that there is no increase in state funding.

I agree Ele. NO taxpayer funding should go to parties. If they can’t raise their own funds, then they are not fit to run the country.

Pity no state funding isn’t one of the options for broadcasting allocation.
