Except for Jimmy.
I reckon if we can get him over the line, such is his influence, we might just defeat it.
C'mon Jimmyyyyyyyyyy. I'll buy you an Australian Greens Tshirt if you do.
Not quite...
I'd support rate capping - if it is based on a fair and reasonable assessment of the funding needs to maintain basic services - to ensure they don't use elevated rates to expand into other areas as I stated above, but I'd also want a block on them the being able to resort to jacked up fees to raise money for the other stuff they tend to get into.
Similarly, I support the ABC and its role in radio and TV, but I think they now run to many stations and fill the gaps with crap programming compared to the past.
