On what a ‘better’ ABC might look like:

Roger Clifton writes: The ABC would very quickly sound modern by simply removing all regional British accents from the microphone. The ABC used to be the custodian of the educated Australian voice, but sometimes it echoes the world that our ancestors fled.

If our young people are to be introduced to the voices of their future, we should be hearing the accents of Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia.

Peter Le Mesurier writes: Good on you, Guy. Apart from a few bright spots recently, including Austin and Ladies in Black, the ABC’s drama programming is predictable and overly reliant on English police crime dramas.
