"Prima facie, there does indeed seem to be a strong case that something
happened. Nick Ross regularly wrote about the NBN with a particular
perspective. Then he mostly stopped in early 2013, and entirely stopped

"...We spend over a billion dollars every year on the ABC. Yet it
appears to have very little independence, if it can’t criticise policies
heading into an election.
If we are going to have a valuable public broadcaster, we need one that
can report on the news without fear or favour. We need one that can
antagonise governments and politicians without worrying about
repercussions down the line from their impending bosses."
