The 2023-2024 Federal Budget was handed down last night by the Treasurer Jim Chalmers. Budget papers show the allocation to the Community Broadcasting Program has increased in dollar amount because it has been indexed to keep up with rising costs, which is now part of ongoing budget policy.
The Community Broadcasting Association of Australia (CBAA) and Volunteering Australia have partnered to promote the integral role of volunteering in community broadcasting.
The CBAA is saddened to hear of the passing of The Hon Tony Staley AO, who died in Melbourne, aged 83. Mr Staley was a former Liberal Party president and former MP for the Victorian seat of Chisholm. In his role as Minister for Post and Telecommunications he had a profound impact on broadcast media in Australia and was instrumental in the development and growth of the community broadcasting sector.
