No fears of Abbott-led assault on ABC: Scott ABC managing director Mark Scott has rejected fears of a financial razor gang waiting for the broadcaster after the next election and says he is comfortable representing the ABC's interests with whoever holds power in Canberra. Speaking to Media after last week's federal budget that saw the ABC receive an additional $90 million over three years to expand news and current affairs and digital services, Mr Scott -- now in his seventh year in the role -- said he felt he had worked well with both sides of government and would continue to do so.
