DISCUSSION, DEBATE, DEMOCRACY

Australia's Public Affairs Channel (A-PAC) is now available to all Business Education Package Subscribers

Since February, 2009, A-PAC has been made available to all FOXTEL Business Education Package subscribers at no extra cost.

A-PAC delivers live, independent, parliamentary coverage from Australia and around the world. It provides news and information on how government and public institutions operate, with particular emphasis on Parliament, including educational content aimed at demystifying the workings of our democracy.

"Community cabinet, is as I said, a part of the Government remaining engaged with the local community and rejuvenating our democracy. And [A-PAC] will give Australia a new window into the parliament and the workings of Government".
                                                                         - Prime Minister, the Hon Kevin Rudd MP
