The government agency which I have selected to discuss in this assignment is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). ABC or Australian Broadcasting Corporation is the national public broadcaster of Australia. It is state-funded, and television, radio and online services both at national and regional levels.

Australian Broadcasting Corporation is a public broadcasting group Radio and television in Australia. The radio service began in 1923 and television began in 1956.
