• The ABC is a valued and important part of keeping the Australian society informed in a balanced way. It is a National treasure, and it is vital that it continues without any interference from commercial interests. I would like my name to be entered on the Open Letter on the ABC.

• The ABC is Australia's national treasure. It is an necessary pillar of our democracy and its independence is essential. It must never be a rubber stamp for whatever side of politics is in government. Furthermore, it is an essential information provider for regional and rural Australia outside of the major urban areas. It should never be sold to commercial interests.

• Australia is fortunate in having a national broadcaster that is free from the constant demands and push of consumerism, to explore aspects of our lives through fiction and non-fiction, across platforms. The range of thoughtful, provocative and sometimes niche programming would not be found, indeed would not survive within a broadcast network reliant only on cultivating the highest viewer numbers in order to satisfy advertisers. The great dumbing down of Australian media programming that would result would be an unforgivable and negligent act of cultural vandalism that would diminish us as a people and as a nation.

• ABC has had a lifelong influence on my quality of life. ABC was my introduction to the world outside as a child in the bush, and now 83 years later is my link with the world again , as age and limited means increasingly confine my activities. ABC now enriches the lives of family and friends through their many devices. Save the ABC.

• The ABC reminds me of an archipelago of very different islands of high quality radio in a sea of mediocrity. Is there a more treasured national institution?
