In the last triennial apppropriation, the ABC received an extra $167m, which included $67m for ABC3 and $70m for drama production. This time round, News and Current Affairs are the big winners as the current government allows the ABC to grow.
The key figure for the independent television production sector is the increase for 2013-4. The ABC TV budget will climb by $20m in the 2013-14 financial year.
