>The ABC is very vulnerable in the present climate, and needs our

>Particularly so as the programme is as unpopular amongst some 
>sections of the Labour Party as the Coalition.

>Please consider writing to the ABC expressing support for LNL and

>And if you're interested in World Music, you could write and support

>We live in troubled times, and if we do nothing things will get worse.
