Please help us to save community TV in Australia

[AB]

Hello Community TV supporters

Please take 30 seconds to send an email to Malcolm Turnbull if you are in support of community TV in Australia.

How you can help?

We need to send as many emails as possible to Malcolm Turnbull asking him to consider allowing Community TV stations an acceptable amount of time to transition to online broadcasting.

I can't post the call to action email with the address, subject line and body of email so if you can please email malcolm.turnbull.mp@aph.gov.au

Subject line = Re: Community television

Body =

Dear Minister,
I write to ask that you please re-consider your decision to push Community TV stations online at the end of 2015.
It is clear that without a longer period to make the transition, the sector will not survive.
I am pleased that you seek the "best outcome" for Community TV, however it is hard to see that the closure of stations that will result from this decision is an intended outcome that is in anyone’s interest.
I respectfully request that you allow a more acceptable time-frame for the sector's many supporters, contributors, viewers and sponsors to transition to online.

Thanks for your support!

Community TV is more than just a 'low budget' gig - for many, it is a practice ground for honing skills (on both sides of the camera) for developing concepts, and getting ideas out to the general public. It's worth preserving for a whole range of reasons.

Unbelievable.....

Mr Turnbull said the future for community television was online.
"The Government believes that the best outcome for community television is that, in the future, it uses the internet as its distribution platform," he said.

This from a guy that destroyed the NBN except for the lucky few (I'm one of them). Here's a tip Malcolm, get rid of the four useless shopping channels before you start interfering with Community TV. Not everyone has access to a fast internet connection, especially in rural areas so I wonder what the real reason behind this is? Maybe they really want us to use tin cans connected by string.......

Not sure about my local member, she just seems to be a rubber stamp for whatever policy the government proposes.....
