In response to new Education Minister Christopher Pyne’s comments last week RE: again abolishing compulsory student services fees at Australian universities, I wrote an opinion piece for ABC’s The Drum website about my own experience last time it happened and the impact it had on student media.

Read my thing here: Student media needs student fees to survive.

The good people at Radio Adelaide – where my media career began – saw the article and invited me onto their breakfast show on Monday to have a chat with Radio’s Angus Randall. It was slightly too early in the morning for me, but you can listen to the audio here.

Always too happy to give back to Radio Adelaide, the station that gave me everything. Including an award, which they have since misplaced.

If anyone sees the 2007 South Australian Community Broadcasting Association “Bilby” Award for Best Station ID 2007 anywhere, would you let me know?

Kind regards,
David M. Green
And good to hear The Empire Times is back up and running.
