2014 End of Year Celebration

Our End of year celebration was great fun and enjoyed by everyone.

It has been a truly awful year for our ABC, ABC staff, ABC supporters, viewers and listeners and it will continue to travel down hill in the years to come.  Blue Mountains members have put in a lot of effort putting ‘bodies on the ground’, so to speak to protest the blatant destruction of our national broadcaster by the current government and the ABC management, so it was good to relax at our end of year celebration. That being said we are all appalled and very sad for the ABC staff who have already lost their jobs and those who are still to lose theirs. This government promised one million jobs in five years and unless I’m missing something all I see and hear are more and more job losses.

We must maintain the rage and continue to fight but we also need to focus on making sure Labor commits to fully re-funding the ABC should they get into power at the next election.

Year’s end is here, so raise your glass,
to the year that’s been and now nearly past.
Tis time to relax, tis time to smile,
tis time to sip and drink awhile,
or simply lie still and reflect on life,
Whilst recharging your batteries for the coming year of strife.
