The ABC has called on the federal government to pass a new law guaranteeing it can host at least one debate during federal elections.
In its submission, the ABC requested an Australian Debates Commission be established by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet no later than 12 months before the next election. It goes on to say the ABC was a “vital source of reliable and trusted news during federal elections”, with 70 per cent of Australians aged 18 to 75 following ABC coverage of the 2022 poll, an audience of 13.3 million people.
