Nationals Leader David Littleproud says the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) needs to bolster its regional coverage and focus more on news than opinion.

“In much of my electorates, people have dropped off listening to the ABC, and that’s a shame, because I think it should be more about news, and less about views,” he said.
