A report two years in the making has been released (actually it was a few days ago but there was no fanfare.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve posted about it here: https:\/\/blog.marxy.org\/2019\/10\/review-of-australian-broadcasting.html<\/a><\/p>\n

An interesting conclusion in the report on page 128 is that the authors estimate that shortwave broadcasts to the Asia and Pacific by Australia have a net economic benefit since 2007-08 of $40.3 million.<\/p>\n
