The multicultural broadcaster SBS will get $14.6 million funding over two years from 2018-19.

The funding will be over two years for SBS to replace revenue that could not be raised by changes to its advertising regime, and $3 million to support the development of Australian film and television content via the Department of Communications and the Arts.

However, the ABC will have the indexation of its operational funding paused, in what the government says will help it “find back-office efficiencies”.
