Interview:
Quentin Dempster, Presenter of ABC Stateline, Author
of Death Struggle & Friend of the ABC: 28th September
2003
In keeping with Mediaman's tradition
of tackling any subject, we investigate what is actually
happening to "our" ABC?
The
NSW Friends of The ABC held their most recent forum
at Bondi Junction, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.
Despite the weather, a huge crowd turned up, I estimate
250+ and Mediaman (Greg Tingle & Yvette Moore),
appeared to the the only media in attendance, other
than a few other photographers. Yet another huge scoop
for us.
Speakers
at the public forum included Quentin Dempster, ABC
Presenter, Cameron Murphy, NSW Council, Louise Southalan,
AFTINET and Tina Bursill, actor, acted as chair.
After
the forum we interviewed Quentin Dempster 1:1.
Quentin
discussed what was achieved, and what you can do to
help save the ABC!

interview will be transcribed in full as time permits.
...end.
Editors
note: It was a most interesting and beneficial public
forum, and Mediaman would like to publicly thank Quentin
Dempster for the interesting and educational interview
that was conducted in such good spirit. Quentin even
inscribed his book that we took to the forum, Death
Struggle: How political malice and boardroom powerplays
are killing the ABC. We also would like to thank
all of the friends of the ABC, in particularly the
ABC Friends president, Mr Gary Cook, for helping make
this historic interview and report of ABC in Crisis,
a reality.
