First fruits of ABC’s $50m funding injection announced
Bananas in Pyjamas is returning to the ABC
The ABC has made good on its promise during the Senate estimates that a slew of new Australian drama and children’s content would be coming soon, with four new shows announced.
These new programs are due to the Federal Government’s three-year, $50m funding injection announced last year.
The funding is the result of a side deal struck between the Greens and Labor in late November to assure an easy passage through parliament for the Australian content requirement for online streaming services bill.
