Around 1998 4ZZZ, 4MBS, and Family Radio started broadcasting from the one installation at Mt Coot-tha. Prior to this 4MBS and Family Radio had merely leased land beside 4ZZZ but then Brisbane City Council decided that having three transmission towers and huts in the one place was an eyesore and encouraged the three radio stations to share facilities. This resulted in the three radio stations developing a company called Broadcasting Park to negotiate with the Council. This company consisted of three shares, one owned by each member station.
Iranian asylum seekers protest against cruelty
Three Iranian asylum seekers have remained on the roof top of a Darwin detention centre since Friday night in protest to the length of detainment they have endured.
Their fellow detainees of the Northern Immigration Detention Centre say the protestors have been in detention for up to 17 months waiting for their asylum applications to be assessed.
The protestors believe the centre’s treatment of detainees is worse than the live export trade to Indonesia.
