Ms Dee Forbes:

I will say again - I said it here last year - that our position is critical and that we cannot go on, given the world and the industry we are in. We are surrounded by competitors that are spending multiples of millions and billions in this area. For us, the uncertainty is proving to be our biggest Achilles heel. We are simply not doing the things we should be doing. We have to be particularly cautious, although we are asked to be innovative and forward-thinking, but it is particularly difficult to be that way when we are unsure of from where our next tranche of money will come. There are things we all wish we could be doing and which, frankly, we should be doing as a national broadcaster. The uncertainty is stopping us from doing them.
