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.
Immigration Minister set for eye-opening visit
Immigration Minister Chris Bowen is set to visit the Darwin Airport Lodge, currently being used to house asylum seeker families.
Fernanda Dahlstrom from the Darwin Asylum Seeker Support and Advocacy Network says there are currently 117 minors in the lodge, 34 of which are unaccompanied minors.
Refugee advocates say they hope Minister Bowen’s visit will open his eyes to the plight of families, and particularly children, living in detention.
