"Prima facie, there does indeed seem to be a strong case that something 
happened. Nick Ross regularly wrote about the NBN with a particular 
perspective. Then he mostly stopped in early 2013, and entirely stopped 
in September."

"...We spend over a billion dollars every year on the ABC. Yet it 
appears to have very little independence, if it can’t criticise policies 
heading into an election.

If we are going to have a valuable public broadcaster, we need one that 
can report on the news without fear or favour. We need one that can 
antagonise governments and politicians without worrying about 
repercussions down the line from their impending bosses."
