My question is addressed to the Prime Minister. I refer him to the fact that Australians relied on the ABC to give them emergency updates during the bushfire crisis. Now Australians are relying upon the ABC to keep them informed, to stay safe and to support the ongoing education of their children during this health crisis. Will the Prime Minister restore funding so the ABC can keep doing its job so effectively?

The ABC is doing an excellent job and they'll continue doing that job with the resources that have been provided to them. Like all agencies and like all Australians, they will all do the best job they can with the resources they have available to them.
