Milne slams ABC, SBS funding 'attack'

GREENS leader Christine Milne has slammed what she says is a federal government attack on the ABC and SBS.

A leaked draft report recommends SBS merge some operations with the ABC to cuts costs.

SBS should also be able to raise more revenue through advertising, the draft efficiency report commissioned by Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull says.

Senator Milne says her party will defend both networks against budget cuts.

"(SBS) enhances multiculturalism," she told reporters in Hobart.

"It's actually unique in the world."

Senator Milne accused the government of kowtowing to the Murdoch media empire by making budget cuts to the ABC.

"Getting rid of the Australia Network is something Rupert Murdoch and the Institute of Public Affairs want to do," the Greens leader said.

"But it's not something Australians want to do.

"Australians love the ABC."

One per cent of funding will be cut from each network over four years.
