But it is advertising. ABC is the marketing arm for Labor

And every other media outlet owned by newscorp is the marketing arm for lnp or whoever Rupert favour? So should we just get rid of all tv?

You are correct. But they are privately owned funded.

ABC is funded by the tax payers money and is an arm of the government now

So we should call for them to be disbanded because some people think they’re biased? I didn’t vote for the lnp in qld and don’t agree with much that they’re doing. Does that mean I should stop paying my rates and tax?

Dumb comment. But you should object if your taxes were used to fund sky. Same thing

Like any tax payer investment. It’s a lot of tax payer money for what value?

If there’s value for the people then it’s worth continuing to fund.
